Hi everyone,
My name is Sofiya. I am a conservationist and wildlife artist.
I'm originally from Russia, but currently residing in Singapore. Previously, I was working in local NGO called ACRES, but now doing consultancy for WCS. When I am not working on my laptop or doing wildlife rescues, I create art ( here is a link to my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/SOFIYA.SHUKHOVA/ ).
I practice aerial arts during my free time. That makes me feel I can fly like a bird or at least like some chubby colugo.
Look forward to e-meeting more members of WildHub!

Welcome Sofiya! Wonderful to have you take part in our community and thank you for sharing your inspirational work with us, combining conservation & art. I love your work for the Save Vietnam's Wildlife education centre. I wonder if it would be useful to start a room on WildHub, dedicated to art & conservation, to bring artists like yourself and conservation projects together - what do you think?
Hi Thirza! I somehow missed your comment. Thank you so much for recognising my work! And yes, definetly, let's create a space for art&conservation. I just posted about it in 'Ideas for building our community' conversation.
Great to read! Thanks Sofiya!
Love this introduction Sofiya!
I just saw your comment now (2 years later). Thank you Sarah :)
Hi Sofiya, I just discovered your profile and would love to connect! We seem to share a passion for combining art with science, specifically conservation and related communication. My approach is mainly via educational graphic novels mostly about climate change, but also starting to expand that out to other forms of climate / nature education products and services.
See you out there!
Hi Alan! Thank you for your comment. It's always nice meeting like-minded people trying to find ways to combine art and conservation science. Your work looks really interesting!
Great to be connected Sofiya and thanks for your reply! Hopefully we can e-meet at one of the WH socials, they are a good place to get to know other members.
Hi Sofiya, absolutely love your artwork and so glad to have you as part of our community. I only discovered aerial art and dance the other day by accident at a nearby environment street party and it looks amazing, definitely want to try it.
