Nathan knew from a young age that he wanted to work in conservation. He enrolled on the Level 3 Animal Studies course at Stamford College and progressed to study an Animal Management degree at University Centre Peterborough, whilst also volunteering as an Animal Technician back at the College. During this time, Nathan was able to save enough money to fund a gap year of rehabilitating previously captive animals for Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, and studying elephant behaviour with the African Elephant Research Unit in South Africa.
