Meet Phoebe Meagher
Protector
Phoebe is a Wildlife Conservation Officer, passionate about exploring and protecting wild places. Despite struggling with math and chemistry in school, her love for biology, animals, and nature guided her career path. She pursued a degree in zoology to understand the complex relationship between animals and their environments. Phoebe’s adventurous spirit has taken her to the jungles of the Philippines and allowed her to dive with sharks. Her remarkable achievements have even landed her work on the front cover of the prestigious Australian Geographic magazine. Currently, she works at Taronga Conservation Society Australia, where she releases animals into the wild and actively fights against poachers.
