Sky Alibhai grew up in Uganda, where, in his words, he had the dubious honor of receiving his first degree from the infamous Ugandan President and dictator Idi Amin. Sky lived to tell the tale and went on to take a D.Phil. at Oxford University. He lectured in Zoology at London University for 16 years before throwing in the security of a steady job to study the black rhino, in Zimbabwe.
The organization that Drs. Sky Alibhai and Zoe Jewell now call WildTrack actually took root 15 years ago as RhinoWatch. At that time, Alibhai was a teacher at the University of London and Jewell was finishing veterinary school at Cambridge University. Together they took on what they thought would be a short-lived, small-mammal census study in Zimbabwe. But it grew into a full-fledged population project of the endangered black rhino.
