Exploring Cheetah Conservation
Agnes, a junior biomedical sciences major and VMBS ambassador, had the unique opportunity to learn about cheetah conservation while volunteering on a reserve in South Africa.
On the reserve, Agnes spent her days tending to cheetahs, lions, servals, and meerkats. When not on the reserve, the team visited national parks where they observed more wildlife.
“This opportunity really helped me understand the importance of conservation and how it is done in an ethical manner,” Agnes said. “I am extremely thankful to have been a part of such a large project to help rescue, rehabilitate, and repopulate the cheetah population in South Africa.”
