7 Reasons Why Supermodel Ellie Gonsalves Is "The Next Big Thing"

6. Her Affiliation With The Wildlife Warriors

Everyone needs a cause and Ellie definitely has one with the Wildlife Warriors. The Warriors program works in conjunction with the Australia Zoo and helps educate on the serious need for wildlife conservation. As a native Australian, this is a cause that is close to Ellie's heart and she has partnered with the organization to not only raise awareness but also funds. The Australia Zoo and Wildlife Hospital could not entirely function without the support of donations from the public. So in an effort to help their cause, Ellie appeared in a photoshoot that took place in the zoo to help bring in donations. While this obviously does help her from a public relations standpoint, it's also a plus for her fans. The fact is that the majority of people cannot truly relate to a world traveled supermodel. That lifestyle is too glamorous, too far out of reach for anyone to understand or perhaps even comprehend. But Ellie's role as ambassador for the Wildlife Warriors does nothing but humanize her. Wearing the latest in high fashion and a beautiful smile is what makes her famous but her side projects are what make her human and more down to earth than perhaps anyone would have thought.
