International Women's Day | Fara

Meet Fara - Wetland and Blue Carbon Researcher, Ecologist, Ornithologist, Writer, and proud mother.
As a child growing up in Feydhoo in Addu City of Maldives, Aishath Farhath (Fara) Ali used to visit the wetlands of Addu with her grandmother to harvest taro. The richness of the ecosystem always fascinated her, including the many species of birds present in the wetlands, as much as she was charmed by the white terns - 'dhondheeni', breeding in her mango tree at home. This was where her passion for the environment and strong connection to conservation took root.
