Traveler Bio

What happens when a rhinoceros is seriously injured, or when an elephant or lion gets stuck in a wire fence? That’s when veterinary surgeon Dr. Johan Marais and his team at Saving the Survivors spring into action! These emergency wildlife vets travel across Africa to rescue and treat endangered animals in critical need.

Throughout this virtual exchange, you’ll follow the team into the field, meet the animals they help, and learn how wildlife conservation works—both in emergencies and through prevention. Have you ever wondered how animals are tracked, relocated, or protected before they’re in danger? Or what it’s like to be a wildlife vet in Africa? Meet the people on the front lines and ask them yourself!

Join Dr. Marais and Saving the Survivors for a front-row seat to a wild world few ever get to see. Let’s get started—there’s no time to waste!
