KM is a conservation lobbyist, National Geographic explorer and founder/director of the Centre for Sustainability Philippines. We talked about her flagship conservation projects, the biodiversity of the Philippines, the importance of working with Indigenous and local people, and why it is so dangerous to be an environmentalist in the Philippines.
