Hi all, I'm Chris, originally from the UK but now living in The Netherlands. I recently completed my MSc in Environment and Resource Management at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, where I focused on the interdisciplinary aspects of environmental challenges and solutions.
I spent three months in the Philippines researching community-based ecotourism impacts in mangrove areas for my thesis, and now I am looking to build my career in sustainability and conservation.
I have a strong background in history, marketing, and communications, enabling me to approach complex issues from different perspectives and communicate with various audiences. I look forward to connecting with some inspiring people and being part of important conservation discussions!
Thanks for having me here!

Hi Chris! Welcome to the Wildhub community. What communities did you study in the Philippines?
Hi! I was based in Mati, in Davao Oriental province, and I was working alongside the local Women's group and fisherfolk. A really inciteful experience!
Hi Chris, welcome to WildHub! Wonderful to have you join us.
Congrats on completing your MSc in Environment and Resource Management!
I was asked recently what would be a good website for conservation-related job opportunities in the Netherlands (like an equivalent of Environment jobs.co.uk in the UK): would you perhaps know the answer to this?
In terms of getting the most out of your WildHub membership, I would recommend having a look at our upcoming WildHub socials (information here ) - it's a great way of sharing knowledge and getting to know each other in our WildHub community. If there are any other specific opportunities you are interested in, please let us (our WildHub Community Advocates @Chrissy, @Grace Alawa, @Eberechi Cecilia Osuagwu, wildhub advocate and myself) know and we can point you in the right direction!
Hi Thirza,
We have https://greenjobs.nl/ which sometimes has conservation openings, but unfortunately not too many others that I have found!
Thanks for the advice, I will definitely take a look and reach out to some others in the community :)
Hi Chris, Many thanks for the advice, I will pass on the information!
Have a good start to your week :)
Welcome Chris, it would be great if you shared some of your experiences working with women groups and fisherfolks, key things to look out for especially in communicating effectively with them.
