“During my time with RARE I have learned so much about raptors and wildlife in general, along with the issues that they deal with day to day. I feel that working with these birds is a special opportunity, each with their own unique characteristics and needs. I really wanted to be involved in educating the public and allowing others to interact with, and appreciate these amazing birds. In my role as coordinator I hope to bring awareness to the issues these birds face and educate communities on how we can be better caretakers of the world around us” – Sonja Hadenfeldt, The RARE Group Coordinator
