I knew Trang Nguyen through the album `100+ little things I did for the Earth in 100+ days` on Facebook and followed her from the first `little things`.
As a woman, do you encounter many difficulties when working in wildlife conservation?
The difficulties are quite many.
Trang and soldiers in the anti-poaching task force in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
How did you convince your parents to do this job?
Actually, convincing parents is very difficult.
So how do you manage in poor living conditions in the forest or protected areas?
Before going to a research area, I often research carefully to see if there is an epidemic in that area and get vaccinated against the disease and take anti-malaria medication if necessary.
She is a quite sensitive person, but this job requires a spirit of steel.
Being sensitive can also have nerves of steel.
The job is dangerous, there are many difficulties, and you yourself have had cancer. Have you ever thought about giving up?
The thought of wanting to give up because of difficulties – whether they are work difficulties or personal difficulties – of course exists, but never lingers for long.
Trang blew the fire to cook rice while doing research in Sainte Luce, Madagascar.

Why did you choose the word `return` for the title of your latest book?
People think that the wild is not a familiar place because we have lost our connection with nature.
I had a very difficult and tiring time, both physically and mentally.
I think, modern life makes people gradually dependent on machines, but when we return to nature, living with extremely basic things, no electricity, no laptop, no mobile signal – I am lost again.
So Returning to the Wild is also “Returning to the human part” in each of us.
While studying at Cambridge, I had a difficult and tiring time, both physically and mentally, and had to see a psychologist.
