Hi everyone!! I' very excited to join this community and meet other people that like me are worried about the planet and are taking action to improve the nature's conservation and our own livelihood.  Introducing myself, I'm from Badajoz, a little city near Portugal at Extremadura, Spain. I love my region because is plenty of wild nature, birds, forests, rivers... but is endangered too. I have a BSc in Biology and a MSc in Biodiversity Conservation. I have more than 15 years of experience in Environmental Education with school kids and the general public. I'm interested in all related topics about ecology, conservation and all living creatures and their relationships, that makes possible the life on Earth.  I have worked in Paraguay granted by University of Salamanca and UNESCO Chair "Education for Sustainable Development: Strengthening lines of research in the area of ​​biodiversity and the link with society". My duties were teaching experiments design and basic biostatistics at UNA (Universidad Nacional de Asunción); doing a biodiversity's bird research at the San Rafael National Park (the major Atlantic Forest patch remaining), ringing birds and teaching young students how to carry out a basic research; and doing environmental education with young child and population living at the natural park influence area.  I stayed at Madeira (Portugal) working on two LIFE projects, one to protect the endemic sparrowhawk "Furabardos" and the other to take care of marine birds. The LIFE projects are the UE tool to support and fund the conservation on their territories.   Later I have devoted to natural ecotourism at Extremadura (Spain) and scuba diving tourism at Sharm el Shaik (Egypt), in addition to environmental education, or little research and consultancy tasks.  Currently, I have a job at an environmental consulting at Extremadura (Spain), working about the compensatory measures to take during and after the construction of photovoltaic plants. I take care of bird nests, mitigation and prevention of bird and bat mortality at the high voltage lines, soil restoration, reforestation, etc.  I'm glad to carry out this work because I'm sure I'm doing the best to protect the nature while the construction of renewable energy plants are trying to reduce the climate change. 

Hi, I'm Ashly and I'm currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work for a land trust that does land conservation work along the peninsula. I got my BA in Environmental Studies and Religion and I've been passionate about environmental justice and sustainability for a long time. I'm hoping to meet fellow conservationists as I explore what marine conservation has to offer. Happy to be joining a community where I can meet new people and get access to professional development resources :D

Hi all, excited to be a part of WildHub! My background is first in conservation education and animal husbandry, primarily working with large carnivores and with elephants. I spent a summer at the Cheetah Conservation Fund, completed my MSc in Conservation Science at Imperial College London, and did my thesis research in Mauritius. Now I'm wrapping up a Master in Counseling degree here in the U.S., and conducting research on vicarious trauma in conservationists. I know from my own experiences and from talking to so many colleagues that the mental burden we take on as conservationists can be so weighty, and can come with all kinds of side effects. I hope to use this research to create more tools and supports, and keep conservationists healthy and in the fight for our planet! If you'd like to participate in the research, it's only open until the end of January 2022. Go to ConservationTrauma.com and share your experiences—it should only take 5-10 minutes. If the survey has closed by that time, feel free to reach out to me to hear where we are on analyzing the results! Or, if you'd like to share your own experiences or get in touch, please reach out any time at brittany.sawrey@gmail.com.

I coordinate Ceredigion Local Nature Partnership in West Wales.  I am interested in making wildlife conservation inclusive and the challenges of working in small nations with endangered languages.  My hobby is spinning my own yarn and weaving or knitting my own fabric and garments.  I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all.

I joined Wildhub to see what happens and meet like minded individuals.......
