I am an aspiring biodiversity ecologists and a fulltime PhD student at the University of Eswatini currently doing a research on testing the use of owls to reduce rodent damage  and pesticide use in agricultural landscapes. I hold a Bachelor of Science majoring in biology and chemistry and a Master's degree in conservation ecology, both obtained from the University of Eswatini. I am also currently working at the Eswatini WILDlife Laboratory as a laboratory technician. My research interests are small mammals, owls, snakes and snake venoms.   My current goals are: 1) To obtain biological insight on small mammals and owls in order to enhance our understanding of the different ecological roles and ecosystem functions provided by these species in natural and agricultural landscapes. ; and 2) To combat wildlife crime through the use of molecular techniques and forensic analysis.  I volunteer at the Eswatini National Museum of Natural History, where I assist the museum curator in data collection and extraction of skulls. I also volunteer at the Eswatini Antivenom Foundation, where I do advocacy campaigns in radios, national television and newspapers.

In his free time, Vincent can be found taking a walk in nature, watching arsenal matches and spending time with family. I am here to network and connect with people that have passion and interest in the conservation of wildlife and wild places. I also look forward to sharing and getting opportunities and learnings that will aid my growth on conservation for the benefit of wildlife and the local communities I work with

I was a police officer in the UK for 25 years. I then retrained as an International Mountain Leader and have guided all over the world. In 2011, I won the Bronze in the Wanderlust Magazine World Guide Awards. I stumbled into conservation work, firstly in Borneo, and this opened my eyes to our need to change the way we do things. During the covid confinements when I could no longer work as a guide, I took to writing, and published a novel, Stonechild, where the famous London statues come to life with their important message on conservation. I also trained as a Climate Reality Leader. 

My conservation career started in 1992 when I helped set up and joined a University expedition to the Bolivian Amazon. What started out as a 3-month experience ended up being a life-changing inflection point that set my professional and personal course to the present day. My conservation experience was built bottom-up and hands-on, and includes field data collection and logistics, grassroots organization leadership and project management, community engagement and capacity building, M&E, training and behavior change, and lately climate education through authorship of graphic novels and other resources. My conservation career includes positions as a senior staff member and a principal investigator at the Bolivian BirdLife Partner Armonía, field investigator in the Gran Chaco with WCS Bolivia, field logistics officer for Conservation International's RAP expeditions, and Programme Manager and Senior Manager of M&E at Rare. I currently work as Senior Behaviour Change Specialist with TRAFFIC International, applying behavioural science approaches to support TRAFFIC's work across wildlife supply chains globally.

I've lived and worked in conservation in Belize for more than 30 years...and love it! I work with both government, non-government agencies and communities towards strengthening the national protected areas system and species conservation frameworks - lots of landscape and seascape planning, protected area management planning, national biodiversity and species conservation planning, and (in all my spare time) addressing wildlife crime. My work provides excellent opportunities to explore iconic protected areas across this amazing country - places like the Blue Hole (known globally as a 'must-do' dive site) and Cockscomb Basin (protected for its high jaguar density) and to work with the inspiring management NGOs and local communities that protect areas such as these to improve their conservation outcomes. To make life even more interesting our organization, Wildtracks, also manages Belize's national manatee and primate rehabilitation centers, as part of our species conservation portfolio. We are excited to be establishing a new programme in 2022 focused on capacity building and mentoring for the Belize conservation community in response to the limited number of in-country conservation practitioners, with skills transfer to the incoming generation of conservation leaders. It is always inspiring to meet others who are as excited and motivated by conservation and conservation planning as I am...looking forward to being an active member of WildHub!

A year ago I decided to quit my job as a Senior Consultant to go freelance and I haven't looked back! I have an extensive background within conservation and am looking to flexibly apply my skills towards positive societal change. My strengths include: social science expertise, systems thinking & change, engaging diverse perspectives, strategic thinking & project design, interdisciplinarity, action research, and collaboration.  Please get in touch (lindsey@emergent.eco) to discuss how I could support you with the development of a new project or if you need additional capacity on existing work.
