Ashley Spratt, Public Affairs Officer Credit: USFWS Ashley Spratt, Public Affairs Officer, Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office, Ventura, Calif. Who is your Female Conservation Hero or Mentor? A hero or mentor in my mind is a person that believes in the unrealized potential of others, and encourages the people around them to be the best versions of themselves, sometimes without even knowing it. My mentors are many - from my first field supervisor and life-long friend Charlie Scott from the Columbia Ecological Services Field Office who took a chance on me as a young college student, to John Christian, former ARD for Migratory Birds in Minneapolis, who taught me about whooping cranes that follow planes, to the many friends and family members who continue to inspire me through their own journeys. Where did you go to school or military branch? University of Missouri School of Journalism and University of New South Wales. What did you study? At MU, I studied strategic communication, with a specific focus on cognitive processing of environmental messaging and human behavior. At UNW, I studied wildlife ecology and film-making. How did you get interested in conservation? I began my journey to where I am today thousands of miles across the pond in Johannesburg, South Africa, home to some of the world's most remarkable wild places and species. Spending my weekends admiring Africa's wildlife as a child in South African National Parks left a permanent mark on my heart, and I knew that some day I would be part of the effort to make sure we as a society never let those experiences slip away from us. What’s your favorite species and why? My favorite land mammal is the King Cheetah. King cheetahs are African cheetah's that possess a genetic mutation causing their fur along their back to appear striped. They, along with their entire species, are very rare, and seeing them in the wild is an experience unlike any other. As a California transplant, I have recently fallen in love with three of our most charismatic and remarkable species that we work to protect - the Southern sea otter, California condor, and Channel Islands fox. Each species has unique challenges they face, and its a privilege to witness milestones in their recovery as a result of the work of our agency. |
