Hi everyone, I've joined Wildhub to make new connections and gain more insight into the sector I'd like to work in.

I've recently resigned from my position as Clinical Director in a busy small animal veterinary practice with the aim of finding a job tackling wildlife crime and the illegal wildlife trade.

I'm currently living in Northern Ireland but my family and I are returning to the Eastern Cape, South Africa next year where we have a small piece of land involved in the Albany Thicket Biodiversity Corridor project.

I'd love to connect with others working in the industry or anyone with suggestions on how I might achieve my goal!

Seeking work in Wildlife Trade, and related NGOs

I'm a small animal veterinarian by trade but over the years have realised it's not where I need to be if I want to help make a real difference in the world. This year, while on maternity leave with my daughter I resigned from my job and have committed myself to finding a role in conservation.
Aside from the more obvious skills you'd expect from a vet, I am a problem solver, analytical thinker, researcher, multi tasker, communicator and so much more. I have a particular interest in wildlife crime and wildlife trade believing my background and experience will serve as an asset in these fields.
I am open to networking, advice and opportunities. Please get in touch.

Hi Jennifer, a warm welcome to our community! We are happy to have you join us.

Looking at your interests, I would recommend clicking the "watch" button in the Wildlife Trade & crime room here. This way you will be notified of any new content published there.

I would also recommend using key terms of your interest in our search bar (top of the site) which will lead to relevant content and connections popping up. In particular, our members who are part of Wildlife Vets International (WVI) @Olivia Walter and @Jane Hopper , international wildlife conservation vet @Emily Talkington and our 'in-house' wildlife crime expert @Arvind Kumar Chaurasia may be contacts of interest to you.

Lastly, I would also recommend joining our monthly WildHub socials (next one is on 20th September, you can RSVP here) where we check in with each other to provide social and informational support. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi Jennifer, good to have you join us. Added to Thirza's recommendation, taking the Wildlife conservation courses offered here would be good considering you'll soon be involved in the Albany Thicket Biodiversity Corridor project.
