My father's job as a ranger led me into wildlife conservation

For six years now I have dedicated myself in the fight against wildlife poaching and environmental conservation thanks to my father.

It all started as a child at the age of 12 when I visited my father, a ranger at Karura forest where he worked for over 12 years protecting the animals from poachers.
