Rihem Bchini

Founder and Manager , GDA Pure Nature

Hello there , my name is Rihem , and I'm excited to share my journey and passion for wildlife conservation, particularly in the context of rural communities and social and solidarity economy. My fascination with the natural world has been a guiding force in my life. From the lush forests to the vibrant wildlife, I've always been captivated by the beauty and complexity of our planet's ecosystems. This love for nature naturally led me to explore ways to protect and preserve it. One of the pivotal experiences that shaped my path was my involvement with Pure Nature, where I had the privilege of working closely with rural women. In this role, I applied my management skills to engage with these incredible women, sharing knowledge and fostering a deep sense of connection with the environment. Together, we embarked on conservation initiatives that not only empowered these women but also contributed to the sustainable management of our natural resources. It was a profoundly rewarding experience that reinforced my commitment to making a difference in my community and my lovely country Tunisia . My journey into the field of M&E is driven by a vision of combining my passion for wildlife conservation with my management skills and experience in the social and solidarity economy. I firmly believe that by integrating these elements, we can create sustainable and holistic solutions that benefit both our environment and the communities that depend on it. I'm eager to continue this journey, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and explore opportunities to leverage my unique blend of skills and experiences. Together, we can work towards a more harmonious future where nature thrives, rural communities prosper, and social and solidarity economy principles guide our path to a better world. Thank you for taking a moment to learn about my story and my dedication to preserving our planet's biodiversity. I look forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts who share my vision and commitment to safeguarding our natural heritage.
