I have worked in Further and Higher Education for most of my career. I have experience of project management, stakeholder management, business administration and process improvement. My last role was as a Research Student Manager looking after over 300 PhD computer science students. I decided to chase my dream of working in conservation when I had the opportunity to take voluntary redundancy...if not now, when? was finally the question that make me take the big scary jump. I'm really interested in rewilding, reintroducing species, habitat maintenance and general health of our world's wildlife and habitats. As a career switcher I have limited experience in conservation but have always been around animals and not afraid to get my hands dirty having worked on a farm when I was younger, and I'm keen horse rider. I am currently seeking local volunteer opportunities. Lock-down has obviously made things a bit harder to get as involved as I'd hoped, but am exploring the options that are available remotely.
A beginner researcher interested in frogs and insects. Joined WILDHUB to connect with researchers, learn from them and take opportunities to participate in various forms.

Experienced in community conservation, world heritage management and ecotourism, I am an extrovert, avid traveler and photographer, easy go lucky person!
ADITI SHARMA
Independent Wildlife Consultant (Former Senior Veterinary Officer, AHD, UK Govt.), EY, WII,GIZ, Member, Wildlife SAB, Morris Animal Foundation, Colorado Member, WiNN Global Mentoring Committee
This is Aditi Sharma and I am a Veterinarian. I completed my Masters in Veterinary Surgery & Radiology in 2004. I did a PG Diploma in Advanced Wildlife Management from the Wildlife Institute of India in 2015 & PG Diploma in One Health from COHORT, Kerela in 2023. I served the Department of Animal Husbandry in Uttarakhand State Government as Senior Veterinary Officer for 20 years and retired voluntarily on 31st January 2023 to continue as a Freelancer Wildlife Consultant. Currently, I am working on three projects related to Wildlife Health, One Health & Human-Wildlife Conflict Mitigation. I served in Rajaji Tiger Reserve in Northern India for 5 years from 2015-2020. I am the Founder of two public charitable Trusts, one works for women's empowerment & safety and the other works for environment conservation.
I am currently the Conservation Programmes Officer at World Land Trust (WLT), based in the UK. I started working for WLT as an assistant in 2017 and over the past few years I have taken on various responsibilities. Currently I co-ordinate and manage our restoration and ranger programmes alongside WLT supported projects in Asia and our only UK site. Prior to this I spent 7 years volunteering in a variety of different roles in organisations in the UK and abroad, whilst studying for my BTEC in Countryside Management, and BSc in Wildlife Conservation at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE), University of Kent. I completed a 3 month internship working as a project assistant for the Charles Darwin Foundation in the Galapagos, collecting data on the Galapagos flycatcher, before I started working at WLT. Within my current role, I engage with WLT's Partner organisations to maintain partnerships, build relationships and support their work. WLT Partners are in-country conservation organisation who manage the projects and reserves that WLT support. Key to WLT’s philosophy is to empower local organisations with financial and technical assistance but not to manage them, which is what initially drew me to working at the trust. The aquisition of land is always through project partners and WLT does not own any land, each project WLT supports is run and managed by an in-country partner organisation. I am passionate about the conservation of the natural world and am interested in a wide range of topics related to that, from human-wildlife conflict and ecosystem restoration, to encouraging interest and passion for nature.
