2017 LJBC Graduate Megan Rawlings recently visited South Africa to work on an inspiring project to save the Northern White Rhino.

The new sanctuary Megan visited cares for orphaned baby Rhinos, teaching her the vital role of human intervention. She witnessed the intense stages of care these Rhinos need to return to the wild, from round-the-clock nursing, IVF procedures on animals, learning what an emotionally charged animal needs to survive and education on poaching and conservation work. This fantastic experience also allows Megan to work alongside 5 different vets and the hours worked contribute towards her Prac hours.

Megan is raising awareness and funds at Murdoch University and is collaborating with them to create a program for students to learn about conservation, animal care, and anti-poaching efforts. This opportunity benefits the sanctuary in many ways.

Megan is studying Veterinary Medicine and will graduate as a Vet in 2024.

Congratulations Megan, it’s truly inspiring to see your passion for conservation and dedication to making a difference. Keep up the fantastic work!
