Andrea has been volunteering with wildlife since she was 13 years old, when she began helping at a local centre for orphaned wildlife, bottle-feeding young deer, raccoons and squirrels. She holds a Master\u2019s degree in ecology from Royal Roads University, as well as a Bachelor\u2019s degree in biology with a focus on zoology and animal behaviour. She has worked at zoos both in Canada and in the U.K., first with primates and small cats and later with the Oregon spotted frog. She has also studied pack dynamics and social behaviour among African wild dogs.<\/p>\n
In 2011, Andrea spent a year in the amphibian and reptile department of Wildlife Preservation Canada\u2019s U.K. sister organization, the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in Jersey. There, among other things, she learned how to treat conservation colonies infected with the deadly chytrid fungus that has been wiping out amphibian populations worldwide. Andrea coordinates our B.C. Wetlands Wildlife project, as well as our work with Taylor\u2019s checkerspot butterfly recovery.<\/p>\n
