BEATRICE MANFRED KAPUSI
STUDENT, THE NELSON MANDELA AFRICAN INSTITUTION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
I am an MSc candidate in Biodiversity and Ecosystems Management at NM-AIST, with a BSc in Wildlife Management from Sokoine University of Agriculture. I have hands-on experience from fieldworks in national parks, including Udzungwa, Ruaha, and Saadani. My current focus is on the adaptive management of Parthenium hysterophorus, integrating community perspectives and its sustainable ecological control. I’m Passionate about conservation that works with people, not just around them. My work blends with field research, geospatial analysis (QGIS, Land Cover Raster Mapping), and stakeholder engagement. I'm especially drawn to an inclusive conservation ethos, ready to learn, contribute, and grow as part of a team building a wilder and more resilient future.
Hi everyone! I’m currently a fourth-year student at the University of Florida about to graduate with a BS in Natural Resource Conservation. I will also be pursuing a MS in Environmental Conservation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which I will begin this coming June! I look forward to hearing about the opportunities WildHub has to offer so I can further my career in the field of conservation!
Passionate and dedicated wildlife ecologist with expertise in African ecosystems and a commitment to environmental sustainability and community empowerment. Proficient in R programming and GIS, I specialize in analyzing wildlife survey data and crafting conservation strategies. Skilled in project management, data collection, and impactful communication, I deliver comprehensive reports and manage large data sets with precision. My ability to identify diverse fauna and flora across African landscapes drives innovative biodiversity preservation efforts. With a strong foundation in ecological storytelling and analysis, I strive to create meaningful change by integrating science, technology, and community-driven solutions for sustainable conservation.

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.
