- Description
- Amy is a wildlife biologist, a scientist who studies animals and their behavior. She uses her knowledge to save animals whose lives and habitats are threatened. Amy once lived in a remote part of central Africa, where she helped rescue Rwanda’s mountain gorillas from extinction. She did groundbreaking science in a rain forest environment, but it wasn’t always easy. She had to face tough conditions in a country affected by conflict and war. Today Amy travels the world, from her home base at New York’s Bronx Zoo to the far reaches of Mongolia in Asia.
