I work with Indigenous communities in all the practical and strategic processes that support their territorial autonomy and self-determined developmental agendas. In a beautifully complex world, that can mean anything from technical GIS support, monitoring biodiversity in territory, analyzing invasions and threats to territory, strategizing and obtaining the necessary data to fill gaps to support legal cases against threats and support informed decision-making. I am an interdisciplinary academic-activist working with Indigenous nationalities and representative organisations in pursuit and actualization of their autonomy and collectively self-determined vision. I have worked on the intersection between international law, national judicial systems, international environmental commitments, extractive industries and the plural visions of Indigenous Peoples and other historically minoritized groups. My focus has been on human rights-based approaches to conservation and what they imply in current law, traditional/local ecological knowledge, and Indigenous leadership in navigating an encroaching world (community-based monitoring and mapping of territory (for biodiversity, threats, culture, etc.)). I have worked across South America and both South and Southeast Asia and have now returned to the Amazonian region as the monitoring field coordinator for Amazon Frontlines.

A passionate conservationist with experience and expertise in anti poaching and community based conservation
I am a motivated, adaptable and responsible professional, with a diverse interdisciplinary background with expertise in veterinary sciences with a special emphasis on wildlife medicine, business development, and project management.
I have over 18 years of experience in a wide range of working scenarios, with government, civil society and the private sector, across three different continents. This has helped me to develop good interpersonal and networking skills, especially within multi-stakeholder context, and a special capacity to handle sensitive political, cultural and religious issues with diplomacy.
I consider myself a self-starter with a practical approach to problem-solving, passionate for sustainable development, from biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health, to gender equality.
Félix is a 25-year-old conservationist and environmental activist from Luxembourg. He is the Biodiversity Working Group Facilitator at Generation Climate Europe, the largest coalition of youth-led NGOs at the European level, pushing for stronger action from the EU on climate and environmental issues. He is also the Liaison Officer on Biodiversity at Youth and Environment Europe, working to mainstream biodiversity throughout the European youth climate and environmental movement and to empower youth from underrepresented regions to participate in regional and global environmental policy processes. He firmly believes that biodiversity is the crumbling foundation of life on Earth and must be put at the center of decision-making processes to create a healthier, more equitable and prosperous future for all, especially the poor and most vulnerable. He previously interned at the Secretariats of the Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD) and the Convention on Migratory Species (UNCMS), and most recently at the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC). He holds an MSc in Conservation from University College London and a BSc in Marine Science from the National University of Ireland, Galway.

I'm an early career conservation educator/ communicator. I currently work face to face, teaching the public in Cornwall all about the RSPB's incredible work, inspiring them to join the charity as members. In my free time, I take that passionate voice online, through my instagram @amyinthewild_. Wildhub seems like a great opportunity to reach likeminded people and learn from the experts in this field.
I'm a biodiversity consultant working mainly in the corporate space. I work with large companies to help them figure out their nature-related impacts, dependancies, risks and opportunities, then use this information to create biodiversity strategies.
I am conducting PhD research on how conservation INGOs work within local political contexts. I am collaborating with a conservation INGO and exploring their work in Kenya. I am really interested in the broader theme of participation in conservation, from how local actors are included in decision making to how practitioners can participate in a academic research through co-proudction.
I am a PhD candidate at the Durrell Institute of Conseration Ecology (DICE), hosted at the University of Kent. My research focuses on how land use change influences human well-being in central Indonesia.
My background is in tropical forestry and development. Other research interests include the application of food systems thinking in forestry issues, biodiversity and food security at the forest-water interface, and the management of multifunctional landscapes across the tropics.
I am a keen advocate of strengthening international and inclusive collaborations in forest and conservation research.
I have a deep love for baking (please share with me your recipes!), basketball and peanut butter 🤩
I'm a children's book author with a focus on creating books that ignite passion and curiosity for wildlife and wild places in young readers. "If we care about animals, we'll want to protect them." I'm looking to connect with professionals who are studying and/or are actively helping in advancing wildlife conservation efforts in general. I am also a beginning nature photographer with a passion for capturing the unique personalities of each animal I see. (That's the goal, anyhow!) I've had a lifelong passion for animals and want to learn all I can and share what I can with young readers, hopefully inspiring the next wave of conservationists, naturalists, scientists, etc.!
I have recently graduated from DICE with an MSc in Conservation Biology. I have a particular interest in the conservation of herpetofauna and carried out research in the UK on slow-worm use of refugia for my MSc dissertation and I also worked in Jersey looking at agile frog habitat suitability. I have a background in local government technology and project management and currently work in this field.
I am a conservation scientist focused on understanding the impacts of landscape-scale disturbance on tropical biodiversity. I’m particularly interested in how we can combine acoustic technologies and machine learning to quantitatively assess these impacts, as well as assess the effectiveness of conservation initiatives. I'm currently a postdoc researcher at the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, UW-Madison using soundscapes to assess the value of forest certification for wildlife in logged forests in Gabon. Previously, I completed my PhD at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology focused on bats in Borneo.
I am a conservation biologist with research interests in population and behavioural ecology of large mammals.
