🔥 I am thrilled to have been chosen as a 2025 Flag Carrier by WINGS Women of Discovery!

With their support, I’ll join the team in Ethiopia’s Bale Mountains to vaccinate and GPS-collar endangered Ethiopian wolves.

In 2020, a male Ethiopian wolf in the Simien Mountains sustained a severe leg injury caused by a gun shot. Unable to keep up with his pack, weak and bleeding, in a place as harsh and exposed as the Ethiopian highlands, that’s usually the end of the story.

But this time, it wasn’t.

When I look back at what we put our field cars through during the last field trip, I don’t even know how we made it successfully to the end… a miracle!

All field cars know suffering… that’s universal fieldwork experience!

What’s your worst field car story?

Ethiopian wolves’ breeding season is fully on! Pups have started emerging.

I took this video almost 2 years ago now. It was my first time seeing Ethiopian wolf pups. Because of how the den was carved under big rocks and a strong wind, they couldn’t see or hear us, leading to this miraculous sight!

✨Happy New Year 2025!

May your fieldwork be legendary, your data results finally be significant, and your camera traps not decide they’re done with you halfway through the field season.🤓

Here’s to surviving another year of chasing elusive creatures and funding! Let's goooo✨

Field biologists have the reputation of not knowing how to dress well, but what are stereotypes if we can’t break them?
