Faaizah’s love for nature and conservation began when, as a little girl, she was deeply intrigued by the nature documentaries aired on local television and found her imagination expanding beyond the boundaries of the life she knew. Her affinity for geography throughout her years at school led to her enrolling at the University of Cape Town, where she completed a Bachelor of Social Science with majors in archaeology, anthropology and environmental and geographical science. She also has a certification in adventure-based learning.

As well as assisting the Conservation Media Unit of the Save Our Seas Foundation, Faaizah works at a local NPO, the I AM WATER Foundation. She says, ‘I believe in the power of education and communication to lead the change that is necessary in a world of constant change. Now more than ever, it is important to conserve and preserve our natural environment for ourselves and for the generations to come.’
