Congratulations to my dear friend, Veterinarian Pete Morkel, shown here with one of the last northern white rhinos back in 2009 at @safari_park_dvur_kralove in the #CzechRepublic before they were brought to @olpejeta conservancy in Kenya. Pete won the Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa, 2018 last week given by @tusk_org. I've known Pete for almost 10 years and the man is one of my greatest inspirations. He has committed his entire life to saving wildlife all over this planet and “shown complete disregard for his personal safety, whilst spending many months at a time away from his family dedicating his entire energy and attention to the conservation and welfare of Africa’s wildlife." The Telegraph writes, “You’re always taking a few blows here and there,” he laughs. He works in some of the world’s least stable countries, in areas infested by armed poachers or rebel groups like the Lord’s Resistance Army or uncleared mines. He once fractured his skull when his Cessna crashed. He reckons he has immobilised 10,000 animals. Inevitably a few have died. “Success and failure are just a heartbeat away from each other,” he says. “It can be gutting. I’ve had my share of failure and you just have to pick up and keep going and learn from what went wrong.” #tuskawards #tusktrust #conservation #africa https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYaLMRFTqo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13cj0c1t64qwa
