Her work revolves around advocating nature issues and raising environmental awareness. She uses photography, film, text and presentations to speak in nature\u2019s favour, hoping that she can make a contribution towards a society that perceives nature (again) as valuable and considers it as an integral part of decision-making and everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christine was born in Klagenfurt\/Austria. She obtained a master\u2019s degree in German philology in 2006 and a master\u2019s degree in Biology with a focus on marine biology and nature conservation in 2009 attending the University of Vienna, Macquarie University Sydney and University of Queensland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling, exploring other countries and nature experiences have been her passion ever since. Whilst still enrolled in university, she was eager to start a scientific career. Towards the end of her studies, however, she realized that \u201ebeing out there in the field\u201c and working creatively by using photography, film, writing and speaking suited her far better. Since then, she has been working on sharing her wildlife adventures, on bridging the gap between science and public and on making nature matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christine is an Austrian professional and award-winning photographer, filmmaker and writer focusing on nature conservation and wildlife topics.
