I joined the WildHub to connect with fellow conservation scientists and further develop skills in conservation project management. I am an applied animal behaviourist with an interest in animal welfare and ex situ conservation. I am originally from Portugal but currently based in the UK, where I work at Bristol Zoological Society, managing the ex situ projects under our conservation programme in the Philippines. I am looking forward to meeting fellow conservation professionals and learn from their experiences, as well as sharing my own.
