Hi there! Passionate about nature and words, I decided to become a wildlife and environment news writer. I'm published currently in Greenauve, but I hope soon to bring my voice to more media outlets. I'm also an editor, content creator, and I volunteer wherever I can help (currently with Wildya), especially when it comes to wildlife. I'm here to learn more from the amazing initiatives that exists around the world and get inspirations for news articles. If you have a brilliant idea, a wild project or research paper that you think might be of my interests, feel free to reach out! i'm also looking at expanding my list of experts to get insights from and feature in my articles.

Experienced conservationist and development practitioner with a demonstrated history of working in the Nonprofit Organization Management industry since 2003. Skilled in Nonprofit Organizations, Sustainable Development, Environmental Awareness, Community Development, Human and Wildlife Conflict Management, Report Writing, and Climate Change. Strong operations professional holding a Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies and pursuing MSc in Conservation Science at the University of Kent.

I am an ecologist working in the field of biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration. My work involves planning and supervising restoration interventions across diverse ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, savannas, and reed beds. I focus on site-based approaches such as invasive species removal, soil and vegetation monitoring, and implementing ecotype-specific planting strategies. My academic and field experience spans a range of ecological themes, including ecotoxicology, soil ecology, water quality, plant invasion, plant metabolites, and palynology. I’m particularly interested in understanding how these components influence ecosystem recovery and using that knowledge to guide practical, context-driven restoration efforts. Currently, I am engaged in a large-scale ecological restoration project with Auroville Botanical Services in Pune, India, where I’m closely involved in site execution and ecological supervision.

I’m Anya Dabite, a conservationist and researcher from Cameroon with experience in elephant monitoring using camera traps, mangrove restoration, and training youth and women in conservation leadership. I joined WildHub to engage with a global network of conservation professionals, exchange practical knowledge, and explore collaborative solutions for community-led conservation, environmental education, and climate resilience. I believe in empowering local voices and building capacity to drive sustainable change from the ground up.

I am currently trying to get back into the conservation world but struggling to find any openings. I am a Zoology graduate and focused on pollinator abundance and diversity along an urban gradient from the CBD to the agricultural outskirts of Leeds. I have also spent time in Madagascar volunteering for a charity called SEED. During this time I undertook three daily surveys from transect walks as well as planting trees corridors to connect the multiplying forest fragments and sorting through guano, examining the seed species. My most recent action for conservation was through a more creative side. I created a pop-up book concerning the rewilding of beavers into the UK. This was a way to encourage children and other tactile people to think and care about UK wildlife and the drastic effect one species can have on an ecosystem through trophic Cascades. This book included interactive tabs, fun vibrant characters and soft materials to engage the reader.

Hello everyone, I'm Banke Odeyemi, a graduate of Ecotourism and Wildlife Management. I have hands-on experience on animal welfare as I did my internship in different Zoological Parks. I joined WildHub to learn more in the field of wildlife and have the needed skills to thrive and impact the environment.

A marine ecologist with a bias towards zoology. I enjoy and have experience with taxonomy (fish, benthos), benthic ecology, PGIS, marine cultural heritage, tracking, and traditional ecological knowledge.

I’m a science/nature writer, artist, and founder of the upcoming website NatureWriting.org, a platform dedicated to providing tools and inspiration for writing about the natural world. My visual art—primarily bird portraits in colored pencil—aims to evoke a deeper emotional connection to nature, with the goal of raising funds and visibility for conservation efforts. I’m eager to connect with fellow conservation professionals, contribute to creative solutions, and use storytelling and art to support meaningful change for wildlife and wild places. I have a BA in Environmental Studies from the University of Minnesota and an MS in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins University, and have worked as a freelance writer and editor for the past 15 years.
