Postdoctoral Associate, Arctic Institute of North America, University of Calgary
I am a Postdoctoral researcher with the Arctic Genomics Project, focusing on the use of genomic tools to support wildlife conservation, food security, and Indigenous-led research in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions. My work lies at the intersection of conservation biology, climate change, and community-based approaches, with a strong emphasis on ethical and respectful collaboration with Indigenous Peoples.
I recently graduated in International Development and Climate Studies from Wageningen University. My MSc dissertation on community forestry, environmental justice and payments for ecosystem services in Timor-Leste, confirmed my interest in these areas, as well as my motivation to work in and with the Global South.
As a trainee at the EEAS in Timor-Leste, I gained practical experience with the design, implementation and evaluation of environmentally related rural development programmes, as well as with EU representation and multilateral development aid dynamics.
As an activist, I am or have been involved in raising awareness, organising events, and facilitating knowledge exchange in the areas of climate change & sustainable development, rethinking the food system, and reducing & recycling waste, with youth and young professionals as the target group .
As long as I'm looking for a job, I would like to stay open to the following interests, next to the abovementioned ones:
I would like to learn more about nature-based climate solutions - relevant for BIPOC communities - for a wide range of sustainability interventions, and how to implement such solutions in close collaboration with BIPOC communities.
I am very interested to explore the possibilities of becoming a facilitator/trainer/coach to support people/organisations with the social and personal challenges that inevitably rise from implementing environmental & development projects & programmes.
As a yoga practitioner and teacher, I am also on the outlook for environmental and development approaches that interrelate caring for the earth and soul.
I look forward to connect with you if you share similar interests and/or have ideas about opportunities in these areas!
CTO at Aposphere GmbH, a platform for strategy planning, portfolio management data capturing and integration.
Three species of African pangolins are found in the Dzanga Sangha Forest Reserve, a dense tropical rainforest reserve in the southwestern tip of the Central African Republic. I conduct ecological research and manage a budding community monitoring initiative for the Sangha Pangolin Project. Monitoring the local pangolin scale trade, camera trapping, promoting community science, understanding local perceptions, and mapping community forest areas to better serve the local and indigenous communities are my main areas of focus.
I am a wildlife film-maker and photographer from Kenya. Besides producing wildlife documentaries, we also publish coffee table books with Augmented Reality. I run a company in Kenya, and we are also fixers for foreign productions wanting to come and film in Kenya. Looking forward to networking and meeting new people, possibilities of working together and also find platforms to showcase our content. I am keen on sharing the little knowledge/ experience I have and also would like to learn from others.
Chloe Chesney
PhD Candidate, Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA), NOVA University Lisbon
My principal research interests lie in understanding the socio-cultural development of humans, the relationships between humans and wildlife and the influence of anthropogenic activities on biodiversity. I am passionate about the inclusion of existing cultural beliefs into conservation strategy and acknowledging the key role of people who share their landscape with protected species. My research and practical work to date has used interdisciplinary socio-ecological data to understand and address conservation dynamics, and issues and I am interested in taking this to the next level by developing novel techniques to achieve more effective and sustainable conservation outcomes in the long-term. I graduated with a BA degree with honors in History and Anthropology (2017) and a MSc in Primate Conservation (Human-Primate Interface) (2018) from Oxford Brookes University in the UK, which gave me an excellent grounding in the methods and application of multidisciplinary approaches. When planning my undergraduate dissertation in 2014, I developed an interest in understanding how cultural practices and beliefs influence peoples’ attitudes and behaviors towards the environment. I have been both conducting research and working in practical conservation roles across West Africa and South-East Asia developing and applying skills in this area ever since. Working in Sierra Leone, I have seen first hand the effects of top-down conservation action on people living in protected areas and the subsequent adverse effects on the habitat and the wildlife. Interestingly, nature often finds ways to adapt and chimpanzees are an excellent example of a species that can flexibly respond to anthropogenic habitat modifications. In my positions as Assistant Conservation Manager in Sierra Leone and Technical Research Advisor in Guinea Bissau, I conducted research on spatio-temporal use of habitats by people and animals, community conservation projects and environmental education programmes, with a particular focus on chimpanzees. I am extremely passionate about building on this research to further investigate and understand local practices and perceptions of wildlife and conservation projects in order to incorporate what people are already doing into conservation approaches. And so, in September 2021 I started a PhD in Anthropology at ISCTE and NOVA FCSH.
