I am Arefine. I am an anchor & reciter. In between my studies in zoology, I am involved in extra curricular activities. I focus on field studies since my undergraduate studies. Field study alone and observing became my addiction. Photography was also added to this addiction. Although watching nature, observing animals is my passion, the thought of working on a specific subject did not come to my mind. After that, I started working at the marginal level with snakebite patients during the Corona period. Then I chose calligraphy as a means of awareness to reach people quickly. Although I did not give priority to online then, I later built my organization called Kundali Foundation. Under the banner of this organization, i started the work of conveying the message of awareness to people called 'Be Aware Of Snake'. I was able to deliver my message to 495 upazilas of Bangladesh. The war is still going on because the fear of snakes has not died down among people.
My research focus is the cultural and utilitarian ways rural communities value wildlife with a focus on endangered apes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I used mixed methods including doing interviews with community members and reconnaissance walks in adjacent village forests. My goal is to work for a conservation organization that partners with communities to find conservation solutions and implement initiatives that benefit both people and animals relevant to the local context.
My area of interest in primate behaviors, not only because I have a background in zoology and conservation but also as someone who spent most of my time with primates. Moreover, I have some skills related to people vs wildlife conflict around PAs. currently, I'm working as a research assistant in mountain gorilla behavior data collection at Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund | Rwanda.

His roots and home are in Kisoro, a part of the Kigezi region in Uganda. Starting as a waiter trading long nights of work for education at the famous Makerere University 2006 and a US Exchange Alumni-IVLP 2017, he has transformed into a local and global actor in the cultural heritage and conservation space. Gerald's Food Forest Africa movement is revolutionizing the use of small and waste spaces for food, health, education and environment to help counter food insecurity, poor nutrition, and the degradation of natural resources.
I am Marjan Maria, a young and ambitious wildlife biologist also a proud mom to a baby girl from Bangladesh. I am passionate about conserving the biodiversity of my country and protecting its endangered species. I am particularly interested in the behavioral ecology of primates and herpetofauna. I have researched the Bengal slow loris, Phayre's langur, hoolock gibbon, and other endangered species in Bangladesh. I have also worked on developing conservation strategies for these species. I am also interested in the impacts of road infrastructure on wildlife. I am currently working on a project to study roadkill in primates and other animals in Bangladesh. I believe that wildlife conservation is essential for our planet's health and future generations' well-being. I am committed to working to protect the biodiversity of Bangladesh and to ensure that its wildlife can thrive for generations to come. I am eager to learn and grow. I am passionate about making a difference in the world. I am grateful for the opportunity to work in wildlife conservation and I am excited to see what the future holds.

I’m associate researcher in Ecology and sustainable use of natural resources, passionate about biodiversity conservation. I’m also a young leader, environmental activist and member of Togolese Society for Nature Conservation (AGBO-ZEGUE NGO), funder of Togo Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN-TOGO) and coordinator of Ecologie Universelle NGO. With over five years' experience in youth environmental engagement, I holds a master's degree in Ecology and Wildlife Resource Management from the University of Lomé. For the past four years, I has been defending environmental protection rights, in particular the conservation of Biodiversity, by organizing training sessions, mass awareness-raising, conference-debates for communities, especially young people, and field research activities.
Indeed, since 2019, I have started to carry out research work on biodiversity management and conservation. I participated in several field research activities on different zoological groups (reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds) under the supervision of Dr. Gabriel Hoinsoudé SEGNIAGBETO, full professor and deputy director of the Laboratory of Ecology and Ecotoxicology (LaEE) at the University of Lomé. I’m also working on several conservation projects for the NGO AGBO-ZEGUE in Togo on natural resources management (mangroves, protected areas, reptiles, amphibian’s conservation and especially marine mammals and sea turtles monitoring in Togo). Since 2021, I'm been a staff member of AGBO-ZEGUE NGO. This new experience enabled me to take up the position of program manager for ecological monitoring of marine turtles from September 1, 2022 to date. Over the past two years, I have worked with specialists in zoology, epidemiology, host and symbiont biology and eco-immunology from Chicago and California to carry out research on Togolese fauna.
I am a third-year student at African Leadership University pursuing a Bachelor of Global Challenges degree, graduating in June 2024. I'm passionate about working in the environmental and wildlife conservation industry to use skills gained from my tertiary education and make a difference as a research professional. I previously worked as a research intern on Land use activities at ALU School of wildlife conservation. And I gained hands-on experience working with writing case studies, analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, and working and communicating professionally.
