Almost 2yrs with ZSL EDGE Fellowship! Every day there's a new thing to learn. It was nice to attend the training & interact with many passionate conservationists & experts. Being the first cohort of "Tree" fellows was a treat - wish many more plant people to join the fellowship.

Next up in our Fellows in the field series, we have alumnus John Lyakurwa. Rikki visited John in Tanzania and had the opportunity to meet his team. He saw the incredible work they are doing to continue efforts in protecting his EDGE species, the Turquoise Dwarf Gecko.
