My love for the outdoors and nature has led me to my current role as a Farming and Nature Officer (Trainee). I am deeply committed to habitat restoration and I am eager to share my knowledge and experiences with others. In this role, I have been actively involved in delivering nature recovery projects aimed at promoting the growth of species-rich grasslands, ancient hay meadows, calaminarian grasslands, woodlands, and wetlands. I am now seeking a new challenge where I can apply my skills and experience to continue to make positive changes for nature.

I received my Master's in Environmental Studies last May and then spent time traveling and realigning myself with my future goals. Previously, I worked as a Stewardship Consultant for a nonprofit urban farm in Colorado. Before that, I held the position of Membership and Events Manager at an environmental nonprofit in Oregon. Currently, I am in the process of searching for job opportunities focused on wildlife, conservation, stewardship, biodiversity monitoring, and/or environmental justice.

I participate in numerous monitoring and conservation programmes. Member of the IUCN SSC Monitor Lizard Specialist Group. Addicted to Natural History.

Hello everyone! I'm Catalina, a current college student pursuing a second bachelors. My first degree is in Sustainability, my current is a BS in Conservation Biology and Ecology. Although my current job as an administrative assistant has nothing to do with conservation, I maintain a volunteer position at the Aquarium of the Pacific on their research and writing team. Previously, I worked for two AZA accredited aquariums in their education departments. Unfortunately, the lack of pay forced me out of the aquarium world and into my current job. I am hopeful that after earning a BS in Conservation Biology and Ecology I will be able to find a conservation/ education job that pays a living wage.

For unintentionally setting free a non-venomous injured wolf snake from my room, my college mates call me Snake-man because by doing so, they assumed I endangered their lives. You can find me with wild animals in the mountains, valleys, or plains because our addresses are somehow the same. Outside my job, I do herping and anyone who wants information on this group of animals besides other biodiversity, climate, and social science can contact me any time. Rest, I follow Allan Rufus’ dictum “Life is like a sandwich, birth as one slice and death as the other. What you put in between the slices is up to you. Is your sandwich tasty or sour?” So, it is me who makes my sandwich! Education-wise, I have a PhD Ecosystem Management (University of New England, Armidale, Australia), MSc Biodiversity, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health (Edinburgh University, Scotland, UK), PG Diploma (Hons), Wildlife Management (Wildlife Institute of India), BSc Forestry (Royal University of Bhutan), and High Standard Professional Certificate (Forest Rangers' Course), Northeast Forest Rangers' College, Jalukbari, Assam (now Central Academy for State Forest Service, Burnihat, Assam, India). All my life, I studied Nature Conservation and related Ecological and Environmental Sciences and live to see how rapidly they change. I can do many things many people can do! I have been recently immortalized by a team of taxonomists from the British Museum as they named a torrent frog (Amolops wangyali) from eastern Bhutan after me based on the work I have done on Bhutan amphibians. Thus, frogs in military jackets around Trashigang may carry my name as their specific species epithet. But more than rejoicing, I feel stressed because I feel I should do more in this area and I don't have much time. So, you know...!
