Conservationist Sacha Dench, also known as ‘the Human Swan’, is the subject of a new ITV documentary fronted by Joanna Lumley.
Unfortunately, some readers might recognise Sacha’s name after tragedy struck her back in September.
The adventurer was in the Scottish Highlands as part of a 3,000 mile challenge flying a para-motor around Britain.
Her aim was to raise awareness of the effects of climate change.
Sadly, Sacha collided in the air with her companion pilot Dan Burton.
Tragically, Dan died in the accident but Sacha survived.
Who is Sacha Dench and where is she from?
Sacha is a biologist and climate campaigner from Australia.
She was a so-called ‘tomboy’ growing up in a remote, rural community in the south east of the vast continent.
Sacha also spent her childhood in Suffolk, France and Switzerland, as well as Down Under.
She studied for her Masters degree in the UK, where she discovered her skill for free-diving.
