Conservation

A letter to our Readers

Head Editors Note by Kirsty Taylor.

May has a been a month of hope in some ways but upset in others. Here in Scotland, we are having warmer days and our COVID-19 restrictions are slowly but surely relaxing in places. However, I personally have been at a complete loss for words when watching the treatment of Palestinians. Here at Continue The Voice we are advocating for change and freedom for Palestinians. We encourage you to take the time to educate yourself on what is going on in Palestine and how you can create change. I would personally recommend by starting with the resources in this Carrd.

This month’s issue is all about conservation and includes some of my favourite pieces of visual art we’ve featured so far, such as Mark Nobel’s driftwood collection (p40/41) and Ryan Mostert’s stunning Mossel Bay photographs. Conservation is something very near and dear to our hearts at Continue The Voice, so as you read and gaze at the wonder of the world through this issue and your everyday life, remember how important it is that we conserve that wonder. Whether it’s switching off lights, cycling instead of driving or turning off the tap. A drop in a pond always creates a ripple. So, grab a snack and a beverage of your choice, cosy up or bask in the sunshine and enjoy!
