Dominique Rhoades

I was four when I decided I wanted to work with giraffe in Africa. So when I finished school, I completed an animal care course, went to work at a Safari Park in the UK for the next ten years, eventually looking after the Rothschild Giraffe, and taking a few months out each year to work on various conservation projects (Loggerhead Sea Turtle Conservation in Greece, Whale Shark research in the Seychelles, Corncrake Breed and Release in the UK, Andean Condor research in Ecuador, among others). I have since worked as a licensed ecologist in the UK, working to protect and conserve European Protected Species.
