Ella Van Cleave
Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Student/Filmmaker
"Ella Van Cleave is a prominent environmental and animal activist, known in certain circles for her thoughtful arguments against cetacean captivity with six years of activism under her belt. She’s one of the foremost voices on the subject -- and at 19, she’s also among the youngest. Van Cleave, (a student living in Squamish, British Columbia), was first thrown into the world of activism at the storied age of twelve. Since then, the only career she’s envisioned for herself is conservation."
