Hey, I'mDr Chloe Buiting

I'm a wildlife vet, conservationist and author. For more than a decade I've worked on the frontlines with rhinos, elephants and orangutans, and today I help people like you find their own path into conservation.

Over 10 years as a wildlife vet have taken me across 4 continents, from dehorning rhinos in South Africa to caring for orangutans in Borneo. I've written 2 books about it, and more than 6,000 people have used my funding guide to start their own work.

Today I consult for Fauna & Flora and sit on the Board of Zoos Victoria. Helping people find their own way into conservation has become one of the greatest privileges of my work.

What people say

“Chloe is proof that one person can make a profound difference.”
Stephanie ArneFormer host of Wild Kingdom
  • I had the privilege of working with Chloe during her time at Fauna & Flora. Alongside her knowledge and huge practical expertise, it was her positive approach and boundless energy, which really stood out. Chloe is not only an exceptional professional but also an invaluable team player and an inspiration to those around her.
    Nick BubbCEO, Tusk Trust; Former Director, Fauna & Flora Australia
  • Chloe became my mentor during vet school when I was passionate about wildlife conservation but unsure how to navigate the field. Her encouragement, expert guidance, and unwavering support were pivotal in helping me become a conservation veterinarian—a career I love. She championed my success as if it were her own, empowering me to envision a future I hadn’t seen for myself. A decade later, I remain just as inspired by her knowledge, accomplishments, and kindness.
    Dr. Meera MokashiConservation Veterinarian
  • Dr. Chloe has been an incredible mentor since my undergraduate days as an aspiring vet student. Five years later, as a second-year DVM student at Cornell University, I’ve just returned from a life-changing week in South Africa working alongside her and her colleagues. Chloe not only facilitated this transformative experience but continues to inspire me with her unwavering guidance, friendship, and professional knowledge.
