Innocent.

Innocent is a Section Ranger at a private nature reserve in Limpopo which has something in common with corporate jobs. Doing paperwork, managing the team, and answering emails. But Innocent also does a job most office employees would never think about. He monitors the population of wild animals, takes care of the reserve and its visitors, and even pursues poachers. And if arresting them might be feasible, presenting evidence in court is a real challenge. That is why Innocent applied for a scholarship to study at the Wildlife Forensic Academy.
