Community engagement, proposal writing, project and programme management

My name is Nora and I currently work as a projectleader/advisor in nature conservation. My work is in integrated solutions towards nature restoration and nature-based solutions. In addition, I work on insects and soil biodiversity (for more info see profile) All my life, I have dreamed of living and working abroad and for the last year, I felt that now is the time for me to make this dream come true. The combination of working on nature restoration in a different environment and culture is something I find very interesting. I think I can put my work experience on integrated approaches in the Netherlands to good use in, and at the same time I am eager to learn more from other methods outside the Netherlands.

I'm Oladayo Omotayo, a graduate of Wildlife and Ecotourism Management, University of Ibadan. Beyond being a Wildlife Ecologist, I'm a conservationist, a researcher, an academic writer, and a project manager

Starting out in the Conservation field, I have just completed and graduated from a Diploma in Environmental Studies and am looking into trying to get some experience in the field to help my learning progress.  I have also just gained some citizen scientist experience within New Zealand aiding in their Coastal Conservation Volunteer programme.  I am currently in Australia, volunteering with an Environmental charity, helping with their database and am still looking for work with other environmental companies/charities.  I am very interested in Forest Ecology and Wildlife. 

I am currently studying geographical sciences at Makerere University.  I am also a poet and writer.

I am a dedicated conservation scientist interested in bridging gaps between science, conservation, and policy to benefit wildlife and people. With 20 years of experience across career sectors, I have collaborated in diverse working groups to develop science-based conservation strategies that support biodiversity and stakeholder needs. I specialize in the impacts of climate change and habitat loss on wildlife and ecosystem health. My work on migratory birds as bioindicators of changing seasonality in northern forests in the USA has informed critical initiatives like “Foresters for the Birds” and clean energy policies addressing the climate crisis. In the California Channel Islands, I led recovery efforts with a wildlife non-profit for threatened and endangered species impacted by habitat degradation from introduced species, resulting in species delisting. I taught field courses in sustainable natural resource management in New Zealand that incorporated Indigenous practices. As Director of an undergraduate field research program, I trained the next generation of conservation leaders.  I earned a Ph.D. in behavioral ecology, an M.S. in zoology, and a B.S. in zoology. My postdoctoral work spanned Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, enhancing my regional knowledge of biodiversity hotspots.

I have been engaging as a conservationist and ecologist working as a Biodiversity and Ecosystem Analyst. I am teaching and mentoring students in ecology and wildlife conservation in Higher education together with conducting ecological research and implementing conservation strategies for threatened species and habitats. I am very passionate about promoting environmental sustainability. I enjoy health and fitness, exploring nature, gardening, and conservation efforts.

My name is Debora Anyawenna Amobey, a recent graduate of the African Leadership University with a B.A. (Hons.) in Global Challenges. I am a passionate conservationist dedicated to environmental sustainability, biodiversity protection, and community-led conservation initiatives. From 2021-2024 I was awarded the Young Conservation Leaders Scholarship under the ALU School of Wildlife Conservation (SOWC) [https://sowc.alueducation.com/], which strengthened my expertise in conservation leadership and policy. My experiences include research and project implementation in biodiversity conservation, waste management, and circular economy solutions across various regions in Africa. I have worked with organizations such as the Centre of Excellence in Biodiversity and Natural Resources Management, Kakum National Park, and Maliasili, contributing to research, environmental education, and grassroots advocacy. As the co-founder of Bangs Circular, I lead initiatives that support sustainable livelihoods through nature-based solutions, including the Tiwai Honey Project and the Nature for Mangroves project. I am eager to join WildHub to connect with a network of conservation professionals, share insights from my work, and collaborate on innovative solutions for global environmental challenges.
