Hello everyone,
My name is Jakob and I‘m currently working as a Program Manager for WCS Congo at Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park.
In the past 15 years I‘ve mainly worked in primatology, doing research at university and conservation work around gorillas and chimpanzees for WCS. Great apes are especially fascinating to me.
During this time I‘ve also become more and more involved in training students and doing local capacity building. It‘s something that I really enjoy, guiding people in scientific work and I
find it very rewarding to enable students to carry out their own research.
In the long-term, I would like to work at the intersection of conservation research and (local) capacity building – that‘s also why I joined WildHub.
If you have any questions about research on great apes or conservation organizations working in this field, feel free to contact me :)
Cheers,
Jakob
