Hello Wildhub community,
I am excited to join this community, Thank you for accepting me.
I am a legal officer working in the conservation sector.
I am an advocate for wildlife conservation, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) community engagements and development.
My experience working as a legal officer and a conservationist and engagement with host communities around the Park has helped shaped my perception on conservation.
It has helped me realise the need to strike a balance between protecting and conserving biodiversity and the interest of indigenous communities around the park. Also the role indigenious knowledge and rural women play in nature conservancy.
