There are many reasons why I have chosen to embark on the journey of working in conservation. My focus has always been on doing something that would make a tangible difference in the world, and conservation lies at the heart of that.
All the way from the Western Cape, Janlu did a three-year National Diploma in Nature Conservation before working as a monitor at a private nature reserve in the Western Cape, with a focus on rivers and freshwater fish species. He also gained valuable experience as part of a private Anti-Poaching Unit based in Hoedspruit, Limpopo.
Says Janlu, "Endangered wildlife is central to protecting the environment as a whole. These species are living indicators of the degradation of our planet. By protecting and conserving endangered wildlife, I believe I am at the forefront of efforts to safeguard vulnerable ecosystems and species - which is exactly where I want to be."
