Faye Cuevas worked in U.S. military intelligence for 17 years and has hunted terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, as part of a conservation program, she is turning her skills to fighting poachers in Kenya and saving the region's most endangered species.
The operation, called tenBoma, is led by Faye Cuevas, a veteran U.S. military intelligence specialist who used to be responsible for uncovering terror networks in Afghanistan and Iraq. "The fight against poaching is often described as a war," she says, "so why shouldn't we use military strategies to combat these crimes?"
