A lifelong advocate for wildlife, Shaunna founded The Big Bad Project after years of volunteering her time working with wolves. Their story of misunderstanding showed her that deeper issues fueling conflict must be addressed.
Her work is driven by a passion for interpretation, bringing people closer to conservation, opening the door to coexistence, and inspiring others to take action. Through her speaking on conservation, interpretation, and leadership, she invites audiences to reimagine what change looks like and to take an active role in shaping it.
Shaunna’s goal is always the same: to leave people inspired, empowered, and ready to carry that change forward.
Coexistence happens when we stop fighting nature and start learning from it. Living with wildlife shouldn't be about control, it should be about respect. We need to stop dreaming about it and start making daily choices that lead to a better future.
