Overcoming fear and embracing the unknown have defined my journey with the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s Birds of Prey Program, where I work alone in remote areas to protect South Africa’s wildlife and promote conservation.

In December 2023, I fetched an injured White-backed Vulture from Kimberley Veterinary Clinic. The bird was found somewhere in town and had a broken leg. The bird was in an excellent condition and was eating well. Its leg was pinned by Dr Burger. From the start this vulture was very feisty so we decided to call her “Kwaaitjie” (bad girl).
