Hello everyone.

I’m Judith Dekkers, originally from the Netherlands but now based in Arusha, Tanzania. A few years ago I pivoted from a career in commercial IT to nature conservation. In 2024 I founded Kumbe Biodiversity, a Tanzanian company that delivers biodiversity monitoring services. We train local students to deploy camera traps, sound sensors, and work with environmental‑DNA (eDNA). We process all DNA right here in country.

I’m always keen to meet fellow professionals working with these technologies, especially eDNA, where there is still so much to learn. Of course I can share our insights and experiences from Tanzania.

Looking forward to connect and explore how we can use cutting‑edge tools to safeguard biodiversity. Feel free to reach out!

In 2022, I moved to Africa (as a digital nomad) and last year I settled in Tanzania. I started a company that delivers innovative solutions for biodiversity monitoring and we train local people to work with these solutions
