Julie West ’91 writes, “I’m part of an educational team that films animals using 360-degree cameras, and I write about it. The footage offers immersive views of lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, tigers, orangutans, and many other species’ behavior in their natural habitats. It’s alarming that animals are disappearing at an increasing rate due to poaching, habitat encroachment, and climate change. We share our footage to raise awareness about the survival challenges of these animals and to inspire new generations of stewards. Outside of my job you can find me on the trail, working on personal photography-video projects, and singing great works of music as a soprano with the Larimer Chorale.”
