Author: Gala Dichiara

I’m Gala, a biologist, artist, writer, conservation communicator, adventurer, and lifelong learner. I’m passionate about far too many things (and always adding more): from diving, wildlife, and storytelling to music, extreme sports, and building communities. But above all, animals are where my heart feels most at home. Through Shikibuntu, I’m creating a global community that reconnects people with nature and with each other, because I believe every act of care can ripple into meaningful change.
