Description

 Bonjour! 
I am Estelle, your host and this is Wildlife Conservation Insights, the podcast dedicated to the connections between wildlife and human being. 

Welcome to Wildlife Conservation Insights! This is episode 11. 

My guest for this episode is a friend and wildlife veterinarian Dr. Maaike de Schepper. We met back in 2019 in Zimbabwe while attending the Wildlife capture Africa trust in Malilangwe. As you can imagine it was an incredible adventure. 
I want to share with you the current work Maaike is doing.  Maaike is currently a wildlife veterinarian working for the NGO called NaanKuSe based in Namibia.

The Naankuse Foundation is a conservation charity dedicated to preserving the landscapes, cultures and wildlife of Namibia. It is world-famous conservation organization, that has a global approach: working to preserve animals, ecosystem and working closely with local communities.  

During my conversation with Maaike, we talked about few missions Maaike was involved in and how her work participates in species conservation as well as her close
involvement with the local communities. 

Hope you enjoy the travel.
