Nicole Barrantes
Hello! I'm Nicole
As one of the Wildlife Campaign Managers, I am passionate about wildlife conservation. In my role, I am responsible for raising awareness of the captive wildlife entertainment industry. I also work towards the development of wildlife-friendly alternatives and work with companies to adopt meaningful animal welfare policies. Prior to World Animal Protection, I worked for the City of New York and educated New Yorkers on the importance of composting their food scraps.
If you have questions about my blogs or any topics related to wildlife, feel free to email me at nicolebarrantes@worldanimalprotection.us
