Kim has worked in the zoological industry for over 15 years and has been based at Hertfordshire zoo since 2017. Kim has had a lifelong love of Madagascar and has visited multiple times, most recently with SEED on the SCRP volunteer programme in 2023. As a SEED ambassador at Hertfordshire Zoo, Kim is always looking for opportunities to raise awareness about Madagascar, promote the charitable work of SEED, and further the zoo's conservation aims. She regularly meets with the SEED team to identify and develop new initiatives.

Dave is a London-based software sales professional with a passion for nature, particularly birdlife. His long-standing fascination with Madagascar's unique wildlife has grown into a deeper understanding of the interconnected humanitarian and conservation challenges facing the region.

Inspired by SEED Madagascar's holistic approach to addressing these issues, Dave recently visited southeast Madagascar and was profoundly moved by the organization's impactful work. Now serving as an ambassador, he is committed to supporting SEED’s mission to empower communities and protect the island's remarkable biodiversity.
