“Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison, by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” 

~ Albert Einstein

Wildlife Veterinarian, Sharon Mulindi   joins us from her mobile vet unit position in Northern Kenya.

The mobile Vet units tackles some pretty import conservation concerns to assist the regional KWS vet in interventions which include treatments, rescues, disease surveillance and collaring. The mobile vet unit is sponsored by Save The Elephants, Ewaso Lions and Grey's Zebra Trust in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service. 

Enjoy our episode with Sharon and hear about some of the wildlife she comes face to face with, how Africa's first community owned and run elephant sanctuary works, and a peek into the important research work being done in conservation. The journey to a being a wildlife vet is quite a journey, and discovering Sharon's passion and commitment is an inspiration to us all as we tackle the challenges we face in our current reality. 

For a bit of levity Marley steps in with his rapid fire questions for his segment of "Off the Top."
