Dr Martin Willison – from Canada to China.
Posted on Sun 14 March 2010
Dr Martin Willison, affectionately known by his school pals as 'Fumble', gained his doctorate in Botany from the University of Nottingham, and has subsequently taught many students over the years about environmental issues. Now that he has retired from Dalhousie University in Canada, he is taking the message of conservation halfway around the world to China. He is currently working with young Chinese people for positive change in environmental awareness in one of the world's pollution hotspots, characterised by China having the world's largest population and a fast growing economy.
He has recently been interviewed on CBC News and a fascinating twenty-minute video of the interview has been published on the CBC website. Click here to view it.
