Award-winning, Australian-owned expedition company Aurora Expeditions, with over 32 years of history and purpose-driven exploration, prides itself on its innovative ways including its strong female influence. The organisation employs over 74 per cent of women, and 35 per cent of its Expedition Leaders are women.
Today, International Women’s Day, Aurora’s head office team (some pictured) will honour its strong, instrumental female employees with a presentation on their achievements followed by a morning tea.
Through its ground-breaking Women In Conservation program, and a world first, each of Aurora Expeditions’ newest ship, the Sylvia Earle, has its public decks named after six other pioneering female conservationists – Jo Ruxton (MBE), Sharon Kwok, Bernadette Demientieff, Dr Asha de Vos, Hanli Prinsloo and Australian Dr Carden Wallace (AM) – with a deck dedicated to Dr Earle herself.
Aurora Expeditions acknowledges female scientists are leading the way in global conservation initiatives and honours these seven extraordinary women who work tirelessly to make the world a better place. The scientists are inspiring leaders in their fields, and through the deck theming, will educate our expeditioners on the impressive and important conservation work they continue to do.
