SHE PROTECTS OUR WILDLIFE
Our cover girl and recipient of the Prestige Vanguard Award 2021 for her work in preserving our natural heritage, conservation biologist Dr. Jessica Lee is jungle-deep in her quest to bring together nature and people for Singapore’s new green future. She tells Nafeesa Saini more.
Dr. Jessi.ca Lee charmed the Prestige team when she turned up for our 40 Under 40 photoshoot earlier in July. Clad in boots, with her long, curly hair piled in a top knot and “parrots” dangling offer ears, she recounted exciting tales of her work. We were in awe as she detailed a 15-hour sampan ride to a remote Javanese island and effortlessly identified a bird’s species through a voice recording. Needless to say, she left an impression.
Two months later, we meet again. This time, she is our cover girl and the recipient of our Prestige Vanguard Award 2021, which is given to the most impressive young change-maker. Jessica stands out for her impact on the demanding field of environmental conservation.
