Hello everyone!
I'm Mory, a water and Environmental engineer currently working in a junior mining corporation in Mali (West Africa) as an environmental officer. As part of my job (that i love), it's my duty to contribute to the protection and conservation of wildlife. Morever, mining has a huge impact on biodiversity depletion.
As part of our job, my team and i use to relocate animals (Snakes most of the time) and insects (Bees and their hives) that one may encounter on the mine site.
Since, i haven't a real expertise in the sector i have been looking for courses to deepen my knowledge in conservation of wildlife and i was really lucky to find a course by WildTeam on LinkedIn to which i've registered.
From their website, i was able to find the link to the community website.
I would like to take advantage of this to thank all you and i'm really looking forward to learn as much as possible and apply that knowledge.

Welcome to WildHub @Mory SANOGO!
Thank you @Christine Tansey !
Welcome Mory, it's good to have you on WildHub and I'm sure you'll get to learn a lot from the community. You have an interesting job, I'm curious to know how you relocate bees and their hives successfully?
Thank you @Grace Alawa . i'm also sure that i'll learn a lot and i'm really glad to be part of the community.
In order to relocate bees, we made many wood hives. We just have to put it near the natural beehives and apply cows manure inside it. In less than two days they will start relocating. After a while, we move the wood hives into an area not affected by works. We started doing this awhile ago and for now it's quite succesful (There are some wood hives still empty but we are waiting).
If you have any other idea, please let me know.
Interesting Mory, I'm just learning from you; never done it before.
A warm welcome to WildHub, Mory! Great to read your introduction post and to have met you in our WildHub social last week :)
I was thinking of ways to connect you with a relevant network in your current job. @Shaleen Attre and @Romulus Whitaker may be useful contacts for you regarding the relocation and monitoring of snakes in particular.
Another contact I could connect you with is @Tatyana Humle who is very knowledgable about Environmental impact assessments and extractive industries.
Are there any other connections or specific information that would be useful in your job at the moment?
I'm really grateful @Thirza Loffeld, thank you for everything and specially for the networking opportunities.
Definitely yes, but for now i think that i'll get in touch with those who names' are listed.
Welcome on board Mory! If there are any chimpanzees where you are working? If so, please do message me :)
