Over the years, I have supported dozens of conservation NGOs, helping secure millions of dollars for biodiversity protection across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. In remote village classrooms, rural areas, and forest clearings, I've seen children's curiosity spark hope in parents. My non-profit organization, JG Global Fund is committed to supporting women, children, and wildlife through educating, equipping and empowering the most vulnerable communities around the world with the belief that there's enough space for all of us to live harmoniously together and thrive.
Over the years, I have supported hundreds of conservation NGOs, helping secure tens of millions of dollars for biodiversity protection across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. In village classrooms, city apartments, and forest clearings, I've seen children's questions spark hope in parents and caregivers. Each partnership showed me how deeply children, women, and wildlife are connected, and how gentle, well-told stories can carry their needs into everyday homes.
My hope is that children grow up wanting to live harmoniously alongside wildlife and become champions for its protection. Animals cannot speak for themselves, so it is up to us to be their voice. If even one child finishes this book with a greater appreciation for wildlife and a desire to help protect it, then I have accomplished my goal.
I studied International Politics, Environmental Policy, and Chinese Studies at the University of California, San Diego, after earning my Bachelor's degree at the University of Florida. That blend of science and policy quietly guides every page I write, helping me translate complex global challenges into stories that nurture curiosity, empathy, and environmental stewardship in young readers.
