Birdgirl.

The environmentalist and ornithologist Mya-Rose Craig is on a mission to make nature accessible to those least likely to experience it. When she was just 14 years old she set up the non-profit organisation Black2Nature with the aim of delivering equal access to nature to the hugely under-represented Visible Minority Ethnic (VME) demographic. In February 2020, Mya received an honorary Doctorate in Science from the University of Bristol for her environmental, diversity and Black2Nature campaigning. She is the youngest British person to receive such an award.
