BRYANSTON – The Game Rangers’ Association of South Africa (GRAA) recently hosted the 2015 Rhino Conservation Awards.
Brescia House School pupil, Kirsten Everett, was awarded a Special Recognition Certificate (Youth Award). Kelsey Hunt, Calvin Erasmus and Alyssa Carter also received awards.

Everett is also the editor and publisher of the Wildlife SA newsletter, a global youth newsletter highlighting conservation.
In the evening, the young conservationists also had the honour of meeting patron of the awards, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.
