Description

In the midst of the desolate Namibian landscape lies a safe haven for wild animals in trouble. The Rare and Endangered Species Trust (REST) cares for a menagerie of creatures all under the watchful eye of animal rehabilitator extraordinaire, Maria Diekmann. From cuddling up with warthogs to chaperoning aardvarks and pangolins, it’s all in a day’s work for this amazing wildlife warrior and her team at REST.
