For unintentionally setting free a non-venomous injured wolf snake from my room, my college mates call me Snake-man because by doing so, they assumed I endangered their lives. You can find me with wild animals in the mountains, valleys, or plains because our addresses are somehow the same. Outside my job, I do herping and anyone who wants information on this group of animals besides other biodiversity, climate, and social science can contact me any time. Rest, I follow Allan Rufus’ dictum “Life is like a sandwich, birth as one slice and death as the other. What you put in between the slices is up to you. Is your sandwich tasty or sour?” So, it is me who makes my sandwich! Education-wise, I have a PhD Ecosystem Management (University of New England, Armidale, Australia), MSc Biodiversity, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health (Edinburgh University, Scotland, UK), PG Diploma (Hons), Wildlife Management (Wildlife Institute of India), BSc Forestry (Royal University of Bhutan), and High Standard Professional Certificate (Forest Rangers' Course), Northeast Forest Rangers' College, Jalukbari, Assam (now Central Academy for State Forest Service, Burnihat, Assam, India). All my life, I studied Nature Conservation and related Ecological and Environmental Sciences and live to see how rapidly they change. I can do many things many people can do! I have been recently immortalized by a team of taxonomists from the British Museum as they named a torrent frog (Amolops wangyali) from eastern Bhutan after me based on the work I have done on Bhutan amphibians. Thus, frogs in military jackets around Trashigang may carry my name as their specific species epithet. But more than rejoicing, I feel stressed because I feel I should do more in this area and I don't have much time. So, you know...!

Unravelling the Wonders of Nature 🌿🔬 | Passionate Wildlife Conservationist & Molecular Biologist 🐾 Greetings! I am Shehroz Abbas, a driven and enthusiastic professional with an insatiable curiosity for the natural world. As an explorer of the wilderness, I have traversed remote landscapes, employing advanced field survey techniques like Mark-Recapture studies, transect surveys, and Telemetry to unravel the secrets of animal behaviour and biodiversity. My eyes light up when tracking elusive species or discovering the hidden gems of our ecosystems. On the other side of the microscope, my expertise in Molecular Biology techniques, such as PCR, Southern Blot, Western Blot, and SDS-PAGE, empowers me to explore the intricate molecular mechanisms that underlie the beauty and diversity of life. Bridging the gap between fieldwork and laboratory research allows me to unravel complex ecological puzzles and contribute to the greater understanding of our planet's ecosystems. What sets me apart is my passion for making a tangible impact on wildlife conservation. I wholeheartedly believe that the delicate balance of nature must be protected for future generations. My unwavering dedication to wildlife conservation drives me to seek a Master's position in Wildlife Ecology, Zoology, or Biodiversity. I am eager to delve deeper into ecological research and contribute to the protection of our planet's rich biodiversity for future generations.

I joined WildHub because of my passion for environmental conservation and my interest in connecting with like-minded individuals who are dedicated to protecting and preserving our planet's biodiversity. I have a degree in veterinary medicine and a deep-rooted interest in One Health approaches that recognize the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. My experiences in veterinary medicine have underscored the importance of holistic approaches to conservation that consider the health of both wildlife and human populations. Additionally, I have been a lifelong fan of wildlife, and I am eager to deepen my understanding of this field through engagement with the vibrant community here on WildHub. I believe that by fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, we can work towards a more sustainable and harmonious relationship with the natural world.

Ron van der A

Chair, Stichting Painted Dog Conservation

First I will introduce myself:  My name is Ron van der A and I have visited the Painted Dog Conservation project in Zimbabwe for the first time in 1999. Many years have followed.   In 2004, we, in The Netherlands , have started a foundation. Main reason was to be more professional in our support to the project.  Website project: https://www.painteddog.org  Website Dutch foundation: https://painteddogconservation.nl   And why am I so dedicated to the African Wild Dog? In the Netherlands and Zimbabwe? Sometimes you don't choose something; it comes to you, as it did for me. During several safaris in Kenya and Tanzania in the 1990s, my passion for Africa developed, and I wanted to give something back to African nature. After volunteering in Swaziland and Kenya, I encountered the Painted Dog Conservation Project in Zimbabwe in 1998. The project's development in collaboration with the local population appealed to me greatly, especially given the extremely difficult conditions in Zimbabwe. After many years as a volunteer, my passion transformed. It was a feeling that is hard to put into words, something that touches your soul and approached the essence of my life. The collaboration between the parties involved took shape and led to a more professional approach. This approach resulted in the establishment of our foundation in 2004. It is a privilege to be the chairman of the foundation. The foundation's goal is to protect the current population of African wild dogs. Additionally, it aims to increase the number of wild dogs and expand their range both in Zimbabwe and in countries beyond. The wild dog (painted dog) is listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List. There are only 6,600 wild dogs left, which is just one percent compared to a hundred years ago! I hope that our websites,https://www.painteddog.org and www.painteddogconservation.nl, invites you to support this special project!
