The Golden Star Award, created by Worldwide Vets founder Dr Gemma Campling, is a powerful way to honor exceptional individuals across the globe who go above and beyond for animals.

Join Sofia from Argentina as she shares her unforgettable journey volunteering with Worldwide Vets in South Africa and Zimbabwe. From darting rhinos and tracking wildlife in Kruger National Park to caring for pangolins and connecting with local communities, her adventure combined hands-on conservation, cultural exchange, and personal growth. Packed with wildlife encounters, life lessons, and lifelong friendships, this is a story of passion, learning, and the wild calling.

Discover the unsung heroes behind global animal rescue—grant writers, fundraisers, coordinators, and supporters—who prove that making an impact doesn’t require being on the frontlines. This blog honours their vital, behind-the-scenes work in protecting wildlife and saving lives.

What if your veterinary journey didn’t start in a lecture hall, but tracking wildlife in the African bush or assisting with animal care in remote communities? Getting involved in conservation work before vet school isn’t just great for your application- it can ignite your passion, shape your perspective, and show you the bigger picture of what being a vet truly means.
