The beautiful flora and Fauna of Curacao is part of the reason Drs. Odette Doest wanted to become a veterinarian. As a small child she saved injured small birds, iguanas and other critters that would cross her path. So it is no wonder that once she became an avian vet she dedicated part of her time at rescuing native wildlife http://www.vetdoest.com. With the foundation 'Fundashon Dier en Onderwijs Cariben', Odette collects funds for treatment, housing and release of animals and provides education to kids, adults and tourists all around the Island. www.fundashon-doc.com Pictures: Jasper Doest
