Hello, I am a first year PhD student at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE), University of Kent, and my research is focusing on the urban consumption of bushmeat in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Interesting area of study. All the best
Welcome to WildHub, Leanne. Would you share some of your findings/lessons learned as your research progresses?
Absolutely!
Great to see you here Leanne! Very cool to hear about what you're doing. May I ask which countries you focus on?
Of course! I have data coming in from Guinea and Cameroon (and potentially Liberia), but I think I will likely focus on Cameroon
That sounds super interesting! Would you be willing to send me an email with some of your details? I think your research and work could be extremely interesting for our nature conservation magazine; Ubuntu Magazine. Perhaps we could do an interview with you :) Let me know if you'd be interested!
A warm welcome to WildHub, Leanne! Great to have you join us and thank you for sharing about the latest Women in Conservation Canterbury event (we're lucky to have you!) and your PhD research. What did you do before your PhD if I may ask?
Perhaps also of interest to you are our WildHub socials which is an informal and easy-going way to network with other members. Upcoming socials are advertised here. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you Thirza! I will definitely have a look at the socials! They sound fantastic!
Before my PhD I was actually heading on quite a different path, looking more into opportunities in policy and renewable energy as an intern at The Crown Estate looking at reviewing the evidence on the potential environmental impacts of tidal stream renewable energy.
