Saving whales through their poo

Asha De Vos is a marine biologist who runs Sri Lanka's first marine conservation centre, Oceanswell. For the last 10 years, Asha's been working on a project to study and help save endangered pygmy blue whales native to Sri Lanka. She also goes by 'whale poop girl' because of what she's discovered from the animal's excrement.
