During my time as head of Project Rhino, Bronwyn was a stalwart, forthright and trustworthy ally, transforming her experience in conservation-based tourism into direct involvement. In 2014, when we decided to organise the world’s first Youth Rhino Summit and hold it in the middle of the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park to ensure delegates clearly understood the rhino poaching crisis – with no built accommodation, electricity, water or communication points – Bronwyn rose to the challenge of Summit Programme Director. Armed only with a clipboard and bullhorn, she shepherded the enormous squad of youth delegates, teachers, rangers, conservation heads, government leaders and speakers through a demanding 4-day programme and helped ensure the Summit achieved its objectives.

Bronwyn repeated this role in the follow-up 2015 Youth Rhino Summit and went onto becoming project coordinator of the Rhino Art conservation education programme, managing staff in the field and organising numerous community conservation events. During her time, the Rhino Art programme directly reached over 75,000 youth and Bronwyn’s Master’s research into the perspectives of young people about the future of rhinos and conservation, in general, was an eye-opener.  I have no hesitation in recommending Bronwyn:  she’s a resourceful project manager who will ensure goals are met.
