lo_Rory_Crawford.jpgRory is Wildlife and Community Officer working for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) on the island of Islay, enthusing people about what is a truly stunning island! He has the pleasure of sharing the place with some lovely people and outstanding wildlife. He will shortly be moving jobs to become a Marine Policy Officer for the RSPB in Edinburgh, though. Rory is tired of negative nay-saying on climate change. He feels that we should be realistic but positive and proactive about what we can practically do, and that's why he wanted to get involved with Challenge Europe.

StaĊĦa Bornekar - Because Stasa, a soon-to-be-teacher, has always been interested in our environment, she was drawn to study geography with sociology. During her studies she joined CEEPUS, the student exchange programme, and went to the Czech Republic to write her dissertation. She has also worked in summer camps for underprivileged children where she helped organize activities like workshops with an educational emphasis on protecting habitats. When she becomes a teacher, she wants to make environmental studies more attractive to students.
