A New Jewelry Collection Aims to Raise Funds for the Wildlife Alliance | DEPARTURES

Because of COVID-19, Shinta Mani Wild has been closed for months and the forest is at risk. “I have committed to this for life, and if that means paying salaries out of my own pocket then I will try my best, but that just keeps our head above water, when we are facing a deluge of illegal activity that needs to be stopped,” Bensley said.

In search of a solution, Bensley teamed up with Australian jewelry designer and gemologist Kate McCoy to launch a collection of pieces whose proceeds will go to protecting this vulnerable habitat.
