Marie-Claire Gauthier, of French nationality, has been appointed new manager in charge of the animal care and rehabilitation at the Limbe Wildlife Centre. She is very welcome in the team and we are looking forward to her hard work ensuring that the best environment is provided to all the animals under our care. “My passion for wildlife, especially primates, began 15 years ago in Costa Rica, where I used to spend hours listening to the howler monkeys living near me. Following this trip, I travelled to Thailand and Bolivia, where I realised how immense the pressures to wild places are and how human encroachement drives humans closer to animals, with the many challenges it brings. This is the sad reality of most countries and the click I needed to dedicate my life to helping wildlife. I engaged as a volunteer in a similar rehabilitation centre protecting vervet monkeys in South Africa, where I learnt animal behaviour, care and rehabilitation, and much more. I am very excited to be part of the LWC family and eager to contribute to helping the LWC grow with all my energy! ” Marie Claire Gauthier
