Hi! My name is Annetjie, and I come from the cheetah capital of the world: Namibia. I work for an organization called the Cheetah Conservation Fund. Our mission is to save cheetahs from extinction.
Let's discuss daily life aboard the Australian research vessel RV Investigator. This is much more than just a ship! Climb aboard as I show you how we live, work and relax at sea.
The cheetah has many evolutionary adaptations, making it the world’s fastest land animal. Unfortunately, cheetahs are Africa’s most endangered big cat, with a world population of less than 7,200.
The harsh cold of the Latvian winter has put some brakes on the bird work, but fear not (unless you don't like spiders) because we have plenty of awesome research to do with our fruit flies now!
After over three months here in Paris, I am returning home! I had a fantastic time learning about French culture and getting to know the people of Paris, and I hope you learned a lot from my trip.
