“Because we're told of so many problems and issues around the world, we get overwhelmed. And if you tell someone, okay, this is what's going on and this is what you can do. That's a bit different, people are like, okay, that's actionable.” - Amanda Hearst
Amanda Hearst is co-founder of Well Beings, an organization that unites animal welfare and environmental protection throughout the globe - from closing down puppy mills in the American South to stopping deforestation in South America.
Their most recent campaign is to stop the fires in the Bolivian Amazon; and because of COVID-19, they’ve also been campaigning to stop the next pandemic by preventing wildlife trafficking in the rainforests - which has been linked to the spread of similar coronaviruses.
Amanda is also co-founder of the luxury, sustainable, fashion retailer Maison de Mode. Check out their cruelty-free edit – it’s absolutely stunning.
