We take you behind the scenes with Amber to learn more about her advocacy work and the challenges she faces as a conservationist. From rebuilding the Marine Mammal Care Center and raising millions of dollars to aid marine mammals’ welfare to pushing for stronger protections for these animals worldwide, her journey has been both inspiring and enlightening.
