Description


Welcome back to Wildlife Conservation Insights Podcast. This is Episode 5.  

We had a little break during this summer time!

Today is a very special episode: my guest is Dr. Terry Norton. Terry is one of my mentors and he has been my inspiration for many years. He is the reason I did a residency in zoological and aquatic medicine; making me understand that everything is possible if you work hard and are passionate. 

Dr. Norton is a wildlife veterinarian. He became a Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine in 1992. Since then, he has provided veterinary care for White Oak Conservation Center, Riverbanks Zoo, North Carolina State Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society’s St. Catherines Island Wildlife Survival Center. He founded the Georgia Sea Turtle Center based on Jekyll Island in Georgia. Not only he provides veterinary care for animals of his center but he also provides veterinary care for the Turtle Survival Alliance’s Turtle Survival Center, and St. Catherines Island Foundation programs.  
Dr. Norton has worked around the world on numerous projects including Bali mynah
reintroduction in Indonesia, lemur health assessments in Madagascar, and sea turtle wildlife conservation efforts in Costa Rica. 
   
In this episode we will talk about The Georgia Sea Turtle Center based in Jeykyll Island (GA). We will discuss this importance of believing in your projects and dreams, of (re)connecting with nature and of course of following your hearts and hard work. 

Hope you enjoy the travel! Have a closer look about this episode on my website under episode #5.
