Kim Spencer grew up in a farming environment in Guyana’s Rupununi region, learning early in her life to tame wild nature, to love the natural environment, and to interact with the land. Kim is enrolled with the South Rupununi Conservation Society (SRCS) as a Cadet Ranger, bringing her experience, innate training, and love for the natural habitat to the job of conservation in the Rupununi. Growing up on the Ranch among the savannahs, with its wildlife and natural habitat, Kim learned essential skills and became trained and equipped in a variety of environmental knowledge, such as handling birds using mist nets, navigating GPS, and using camera footage to collect and analyze data of the natural environment. Kim dedicated herself to education, serving as a mathematics teacher at Sand Creek Secondary School. After school hours, she would often lead expeditions into the wilderness, setting up cameras to monitor local wildlife and teach her students about the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
