[edit] Information

My first job in conservation was with Blythe Loutit in Namibia, who founded Save the Rhino Trust. I was based with her in Khorixas, a small town in the hinterland of the Skeleton Coast, running a crafts for conservation project for the local communities. It became a crash course in desert living as well as a thorough introduction to the biology of desert-adapted black rhino, and certainly one of the most formative periods of my life. Blythe’s enthusiasm was infectious and she knew the desert inside out. One day she let me in to an extraordinary secret about rhino - something that she and her husband had discovered by chance. Then, very sadly, Blythe died in 2005. In her memory I decided to make a film that would record what she had witnessed. I had no idea that it would turn into a four year obsession! Blythe was the finest eco-warrior I’ve ever met, and I can only hope that I had her blessing.
