As an environmental conservationist, I specialize in Species Management through research and comprehensive Project/Programme Management, forging Partnerships and Collaborations to amplify conservation efforts. With a keen focus on Monitoring and Evaluation, I ensure the efficacy of strategies while integrating Livelihood, Economic, and Moral Incentives to foster sustainable practices. My expertise extends to Land and Water Management, mitigating human impact for ecological resilience. I excel in Human Resources, cultivating passionate teams, and securing resources through Fundraising to sustain conservation projects. Committed to Education and Training, I empower future generations for environmental stewardship, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

I am Reader in Statistics at the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science (SMSAS) of the University of Kent and a member of the Statistical Ecology @ Kent (SE@K) group and of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE). My research expertise is in developing new statistical models and associated software for modelling data on nature, for example monitoring migration and phenological patterns of populations, citizen science and related data, and for monitoring biodiversity using DNA-based survey data.  See more on my personal website.

Hi I am phani, I am doing research on affects of  climate change on financial institutes/Banking sector. Here I wants to highlight the risks of climate change and their financial implications. Before that I am M.Sc. Zoology and involved in nature and wild life conservation activities.

Thabang is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Wildlife Management and Conservation at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Science. His research is focusing on intrinsic ecosystem restoration processes in and around peri-urban habitats. During his six-year stay and study in Hungary, Thabang worked as an assistant lecturer and supervised students’ research. He also worked with the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) as a project assistant. Currently, he serves as Head of the Responsible Resource Management Business Unit/Department at the Southern African Wildlife College. Apart from managing the department, he is also a research lead on one of SAWC’s longitudinal studies focusing on regenerative rangeland management: a holistic approach to conservation, working with communities, private farmers, and protected area managers towards ecosystem restoration efforts.

Hi! My name is Osvaldo Abrao, I am Mozambican and Conservation Biologist. I am working in Zinave National Park, as Carnivore Reintroduction Project Coordinator. Zinave, is one an Conservation Area in Recover Process and now the population of prey are growing well. As  result, we have natural return of predators, mainly lions. In addition of lions I am working with hyenas, leopards and other small predators.  I am very interested to learn more about predators, species conservation, restoration, how engage community in conservation and to hear more success histories in conservation around the world!

I am currently a Master science student in chemistry and my research focuses on removal of organic materials in water bodies to ensure that the environment is maintained, (this includes prevention of harm to aquatic lives) 

Scientist transitioning to be a more applied, people-, and conservation-centric conservation technologist – ‘an expert with a vision and mission’.  Academic Advisor and General Manager at HOME | Lajuma Research Centre.  Overview The Lajuma Research Centre (LRC) is at the forefront of ecological research and conservation in Southern Africa, playing a crucial role in the study and protection of one of the continent's most unique and biodiverse regions. The centre is nestled within a 430-hectare expanse in the western part of the Soutpansberg mountain range in South Africa’s northernmost province of Limpopo, within the 5,000-hectare Luvhondo Private Nature Reserve. This reserve forms part of the UNESCO Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, a designation as a Natural Heritage Site that underscores its global significance as a centre for endemism. Ecological Significance -        Topography and Climate: The Soutpansberg mountain range features altitudes ranging from 250 to 1,748 meters at top of Letjuma, creating a diverse range of microhabitats, spanning wetlands, thickets, grasslands, savanna, fynbos, and montane forests. The region's north-south topographical gradient and east-west rainfall gradient contribute to regional ecological heterogeneity. The mid-section of the 250 km long Soutpansberg mountain has an annual rainfall of up to 2000 mm while the rainfall in the western part can be as low as 340 mm/year. -        Biodiversity: The Soutpansberg is renowned for its botanical diversity. It is home to approximately 3,000 plant species from 1,066 genera, including 24 locally endemic species. The area has been recognized as a centre of endemism and floristic diversity. The Centre’s habitats support an impressive 145 species or 60% of all mammal species in South Africa, including the elusive leopard (Panthera pardus) and the rare Samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis). The rich biodiversity includes numerous bird species (56% of SAs bird species), amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles (140 species), with numerous species endemic to the Soutpansberg mountain. -        All five primate species are found at LRC, providing unique opportunities to study interspecific interactions. Research and Education -        History and Founder: Established in the early 1990s by Professor Ian Gaigher, a seasoned zoologist with over 40 years of experience in research, teaching, and conservation, LRC has become a pivotal institution for ecological research. Professor Gaigher's vision was to create a centre where both local and international researchers could explore and contribute to the understanding of the region’s biodiversity. -        Academic Contributions: The Centre has hosted over 500 students from national and international institutions who participated in the Lajuma Programme, or conducted their own projects, publishing over 100 peer-reviewed articles. These students engage in a range of research activities, including internships, mini-projects, and higher-degree research (Honours, Masters, and PhD), significantly advancing our knowledge of the region's ecosystems and species. Conservation and Community Engagement UNESCO Vhembe Biosphere Reserve: The LRC is an integral part of the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, which was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2009. This designation highlights the region's importance for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Many of the Centre's staff are actively involved in the Reserve's governance and conservation efforts, ensuring that scientific research informs and supports effective conservation strategies. Mission and Goals Research, education, community outreach, and conservation. The Centre is dedicated to preserving biodiversity through innovative and sustainable solutions. This involves working closely with local communities to develop and implement strategies that minimize the impact of wildlife on human activities while ensuring the protection of both wildlife and natural habitats.
