Protecting the vulnerable
As the only trained wildlife veterinary doctor practising in the South Island, Dr Lisa Argilla is playing a huge role in the conservation of some of this country's most endangered species.
She works at The Wildlife Hospital at Otago Polytechnic's School of Veterinary Nursing in Dunedin, which has now been open just over a week - and it's been flat out from day one!
