Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

Dr. Sara Bell ('16)
Sara Bell was among an international group of veterinarians and technicians who traveled to South Africa to help protect rhinos from poaching through a unique method - removing their horns. Loop Abroad organized the mission, which facilitated the dehorning of 50 white rhino and 10 critically endangered black rhinos in an attempt to spare them from the imminent threat of poaching. "This mission was a once-in-a-lifetime experience," Bell said. "It was an honor to work alongside dedicated veterinarians and technicians to protect critically endangered black and white rhinos. We all have a responsibility to conserve for future generations and I feel blessed to have been able to help in this impactful way."
