And I love that I can go anywhere and find nature there with me to connect with. I think nature helps us learn to love and be with each other better." Elias loves nature photography and drawing nature and animals too.
"My favorite animal is a tiger. I saw three of them in Nepal recently! I love how beautiful they are and that they help guard the forest and keep it healthy."
"Camping adventures. I love to look for rocks and mushrooms with my dad and watch birds with my mom and explore to look for wildlife. We all need to do that more often." Elias’ teacher told him at graduation, "You will probably save all of us by helping others to see a world worth saving."
