'One week I'm meeting with Prince Charles and the Duke of Cambridge – the next week I'm pushing a car out of the bog in Africa and trying to get an email to follow up from those meetings at St James Palace so I'm trying to email royalty from the back of a car stuck in a bog in Uganda," Sean Willmore, Thin Green Line founder.

 

'When Sean told me about the condition in which he found so many of the rangers it completely rang a bell because I know – I know that this is the case and it's always been worrying and to meet somebody who actually wanted to do something about it was for me very exciting," Dr Dame Jane Goodall, primatologist.
