“I love Africa and her people. I have a keen interest in education and enlightenment, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. I view reverence and consideration for the natural world as paramount.”

Sarah Clegg is an ecologist at Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, where she has spent nearly three decades monitoring black and white rhino populations. Over this time, her work has revealed the importance of social relationships among individual rhinos, highlighting their crucial role in shaping behaviour, ecology, and long-term survival.

This insight has guided her approach to conservation management, particularly in the careful selection of individuals for translocation to new protected areas. By considering social bonds, Sarah aims to reduce stress and improve the success of rhino range expansion initiatives.
Deeply committed to the conservation of all wildlife, Sarah holds a particular passion for rhinos and continues to contribute to efforts that ensure their survival for future generations.
