    16 June 2018 - By

You might have heard the expression, ‘Not all superheroes wear capes,’ – and when I think of Michelle Campbell and Grant Pengilly – enthusiastic wildlife conservationists who hail from South Africa – that certainly springs to my mind. You see, since November 2017, Michelle and Grant have been travelling around Africa, inspiring change, fighting wildlife injustice and educating communities.
