It's the perfect example of what can be achieved when we all work together to save species."Dr Philip Riordan, director of conservation at Marwell Wildlife, said: "It is difficult to imagine that we would have succeeded in bringing the scimitar-horned oryx back from extinction without Tania's contributions."You can follow BBC Hampshire & Isle of Wight on Facebook, X, or Instagram.
