Meet Maria Diekmann - REST, Namibia
Maria started the Rare and Endangered Species Trust in 2000 and has since played a critical role in the conservation of Namibia’s vulnerable species, creating awareness around some of the most misunderstood and endangered animals – The Forgotten Five, including: Cape Griffon Vultures, Cape Pangolins, Dwarf Pythons, Spotted Rubber Frogs, and Damara Dik Dik. Watch our short film to learn more about Maria and the challenges she has had to overcome as a woman working on the frontlines to protect these incredible species.
