Africa The Great https://journals.worldnomads.com/the_nomadic_ecologist/ Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:59:47 GMT World Nomads Adventures For as long as I can remember, I have had an immense passion for wildlife and photography. I followed my passion for wildlife by studying a BSc Biodiversity and ecology and will be graduating in December. During our course, we often went on field trips to equip us for our future thesis project. This was where I would go crazy with my photography, snapping any creature of vegetation that I could find, developing my skills as I did this more and more often. This degree has enhanced my love for all things belonging to the natural world and has sparked a feeling of wanderlust in my heart. I would love to be a photo journalist for a wildlife magazine one day as it would allow me to merge my two passions. Ever since high school, I have dreamed of exploring the amazon. It has always fascinated me as it is so different to the vegetation that I am used to here in South Africa. One day I would like to travel the world, not to visit the cities which man have built, but to see the wilderness which man has not yet destroyed. I believe that I would be a good candidate as I have an ecological science and photography background and know for certain that I will pursue a career in photojournalism. https://journals.worldnomads.com/the_nomadic_ecologist/photos/49625/South-Africa/The-Biodiversity-of-Southern-Africa Travel South Africa the_nomadic_ecologist https://journals.worldnomads.com/the_nomadic_ecologist/photos/49625/South-Africa/The-Biodiversity-of-Southern-Africa#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/the_nomadic_ecologist/photos/49625/South-Africa/The-Biodiversity-of-Southern-Africa Sun, 26 Oct 2014 02:44:31 GMT 0
