Saving biodiversity hotpots, those places on Earth with an abundance of life, are at the forefront of conservation efforts today. We now understand that Earth’s ability to provide the clean air and water and moderate temperatures humans need to survive is dependent upon its entire web of life working in harmony which is the reason why the importance of biodiversity hotspots grows with every new claim of the natural environment.

Lena Medoyeff learned the art of fashion design in an unusual way; from a local seamstress in Guatemala when she volunteered for the Peace Corps there. Her friend taught her how to make patterns, and Lena made clothes for herself and other volunteers too.
