Elin Kelsey

How do you feel when you think about the environment? This was the question with which Dr Elin Kelsey opened her keynote address at the 8th International Aquarium Congress taking place in Cape Town until 14 September.

So, have you given the question some thought?

“People have very strong emotions around what’s happening in the planet,” says the internationally renowned researcher, consultant and author.

Many people feel a sense of despair, dread, worry, concern and hopelessness when it comes to the state of the environment, however Dr Kelsey’s overall message was one of hope and resilience.
