I hold a bachelor's degree in Forestry and a Master's degree in Natural Resource Management and Rural Development from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. My passion lies in the conservation of Nepal's threatened wildlife, with a special focus on freshwater turtles and tortoises, through the engagement of local communities. In 2023, as a fellow in WWF Nepal’s Environmental Leadership Program (ELP), I led an awareness campaign on turtle and tortoise conservation in a buffer zone community forest of Chitwan National Park, Nepal. During the fellowship, I successfully rescued an Endangered Indian Narrow-headed Softshell Turtle from the local pet trade.

I am Kazeem Idowu Akano, a Law Enforcement Personnel with the Nigerian Customs Service. I perform a number of law enforcement related activities including Digital Forensic Investigations.

        I am an emerging environmental and climate change professional focused on Environment management, climate action, and sustainable natural resource governance. I am currently in my final year pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Environment and Climate Change at Mukuba University, with a growing orientation toward applied, policy relevant, and community grounded solutions.       My professional experience includes industrial attachment with the Mansa Forestry Department in Luapula Province, where I gained practical exposure to forest management, conservation planning, and the operational realities of environmental governance. This experience reinforced my interest in forests as critical climate systems and strengthened my commitment to linking ecosystem protection with local livelihoods and resilience.         I bring a strong blend of technical, leadership, and advocacy credentials. My training includes ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems Awareness, GIS applications in conservation mapping, leadership in climate change, natural conservation education, climate change and human health, and WASH related environmental programming. These competencies position me at the intersection of environmental management, spatial analysis, public health linkages, and climate leadership, with an emphasis on evidence based action.         Beyond formal training, I have demonstrated leadership through regional and grassroots engagement. I served as the 2024 Africa Ambassador for the Healthy Environmentally Friendly Youth Campaign and remain actively involved with the Mukuba University Climate Change Action Society and the Copperbelt Institute of Natural Resources and Climate Change. I have contributed to tree planting initiatives and community mobilization under platforms such as the Keep Your Promise Campaign, advocating for climate justice and accountability.         My long term direction is centered on advancing practical solutions in forest conservation, environmental management systems, and climate policy implementation. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to integrate science, leadership, and community engagement to drive sustainable and measurable environmental impact in Zambia and across Africa.

I'm a finance and Administration Officer working on conservation and research projects in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and looking forward to growing my career in conservation of the natural environment and related projects.

I am a biologist passionate about biodiversity conservation and environmental sustainability, with academic training and hands-on experience in scientific research, fieldwork, and environmental education. Continuing to grow professionally is my greatest motivation. I am always eager to learn from others and contribute to projects that promote the study, conservation, and respect for nature.

I am currently enrolled in the Wildlife Project Management for Conservation course. I am excited to be part of this training and to enhance my skills in wildlife conservation and project management. I work as a Wildlife Crime Investigator with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) attached FCS Uganda  where I am involved in investigating wildlife-related crimes, protecting endangered species, and supporting conservation efforts throughout Uganda. My role has provided me with practical experience in conservation law enforcement and a deep understanding of the challenges faced in protecting wildlife. However, I am eager to further develop my knowledge and skills in the broader field of conservation management, especially in relation to project planning, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable conservation practices. I am looking forward to learning from both the course content and my fellow participants, as I believe this will help me better contribute to UWA’s ongoing efforts in wildlife protection and conservation. Thank you, and I look forward to working together!

Hello ,My name is Iradukunda Ambrose am from south Western in kigezi region kanungu district, along the last mile communities of Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi impenetrable forest! We also have refugee villages of people from DRC and indigenous tribes of Batwa and Banyabutumbi. I run a youth led non profit organisation called Green Guardians Conservation Hub that also works with Women in Conservation , being  an orphan and entirely living on the park fringes have experienced several challenges along the park like school fees hardships bit am proud am how an Environmental scientist at Makerere university, we now seek for Collaborations and partnerships to boost this great initiative thanks everyone 

I'm a dedicated field ecologist and biological scientist with a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience in conservation, ecological data analysis, and sustainability. With an MSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Amsterdam and a BSc from the University of York, I bring a global perspective and a deep respect for nature rooted in my upbringing in Zambia. My work spans diverse ecological projects—from predator-prey behavior under artificial light to long-term vegetation monitoring using GIS and remote sensing. I’ve contributed to field research in Zambia’s Kafue National Park, mapped grazer impacts in the Dutch dunes, and supported customer knowledge systems at a biotech startup. Whether I’m analyzing habitat data, writing scientific reports, or improving internal operations, I’m committed to promoting biodiversity and sustainable practices. Skilled in R, ArcGIS, ecological monitoring, and scientific communication, I enjoy bridging the gap between science and society. I’m currently contributing to conservation in the Netherlands while also supporting operational systems at Purovitalis. I aim to make a positive, lasting impact on environmental stewardship wherever I go.

Conservation Evangelist and Writer, Hobby Birdwatcher and Conservation Volunteer. I regularly take part in Pro Bono Consulting for Wildlife Projects.  Professional Certificate in Measuring and Monitoring Urban Nature IUCN

I'm a recent BASc Global Challenges (Planetary Health) graduate with a keen passion for climate justice and the intersection of human and environmental health. Currently seeking opportunities to gain hands-on practical conservation skills.

I am an Ecological Anthropologist & Ethnobiologist. I study how humans from various cultures all around the world affect plant and animal ecosystems and how human use of these ecosystems affects the wildlife populations. This is known by various names such as: Ecosystem Services, Human-Wildlife Interactions, Ecosystem Function. I study all various aspects of the "Human-Wildlife Interface" while dealing with issues associated with Wildlife Conservation, Biodiversity Loss, Global Climate Change, Anthropogenic Factors Affecting Wildlife & Habitat, Anthropocene Epoch Related Issues, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Systems of Indigenous People's. I am also a National Science Foundation Summer Scholar. I utilize "Integrated Biological Approaches" from the fields of both Anthropology & Wildlife Biology/Ecology when conducting research for the 21st century. I am also the founder and creator of "Integrated Human-Nature Relations".

Passionate about biodiversity conservation, I work in Chinese pangolin and freshwater turtle research, wildlife ecology, and GIS-based analysis. As a Wildlife Biologist at the Creative Conservation Alliance, I work on conservation initiatives to protect endangered species and their habitats in Bangladesh.

For the last 8 years I have been involved in planning for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services, ecological restoration and monitoring of flora and fauna throughout Chile and Europe. The last time I have dedicated to expand my knowledge in ecology towards aquatic ecosystems, acquiring tools in scientific diving, coastal planning and bioacoustics.
