Hi Team!
I would like to wish you a peaceful and restful holiday season and express my gratitude for your active community engagement this year - WildHub wouldn't be such a wonderful, safe and interesting community without you!
I would also like to let you know about my upcoming holidays; I will be away from next week 23 Dec for 2 weeks to spend time with family :)
Let me know if you need my help with anything before this Thursday 19th of Dec or otherwise it will have to wait until I'm back from Mon Jan 6th.
Best wishes and until the new year!
Thirza
My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
