In a reflective quest aimed to align her emerging interests with a vocation, Andreia Pawel tent-camped in the Southern Namibian Savana for three years. Then, one day she unexpectedly received the chance to start a new one-million acre wildlife reserve: The Orange River-Karoo Conservation Area. As CEO of this fast-moving project, she looks back on falling in love with a vast landscape and its wildlife inhabitants, and the rewards of watching a newly protected place begin to thrive once again.
