I am a Senior Forest Manager passionate about biodiversity conservation. With over two years of volunteering experience at a nonprofit conservation organization, I developed much interest in safeguarding nature when I noticed the numerous threats to nature. This arose the desire to contribute as much as possible towards nature conservation. Together with a team of like-minded young professionals we founded the nonprofit organization ,Green Growth Allies, through which we promote environmentally friendly and conservation initiatives. Thus, improving skills, collaborating and networking is our aim at this early stage. As such, Wildhub is just the right platform.
