I am Fleur, based in the UK, and I am the WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme Co-ordinator, supporting conservation professionals to develop their writing, communication, and leadership skills through this inclusive global platform. I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Behaviour from the University of Exeter and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Oxford Brookes University. My research background includes woodland butterflies and bumblebees, alongside a strong interest in woodland animals more broadly. I also have comprehensive knowledge and expertise in domestic rabbits and their welfare and care. Alongside my work in conservation, I am the founder of Your Own Mum (https://www.yourownmum.co.uk/), a resource space and weekly journal supporting mothers navigating parenthood without maternal support or a traditional family network. This work draws on my background in psychology and my passion for creating thoughtful, compassionate spaces that help people feel less isolated and more understood. I am deeply passionate about wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and meaningful communication - particularly where it brings people together on shared paths.

Hello, I'm Yanna, a design consultant helping social and environmental impact organizations to design innovative solutions that address complex challenges. My approach combines human-centered design and behavior change strategies. I believe that understanding the drivers and barriers of human behavior in relation to environmental challenges is essential in order to design sustainable and transformative community programs that achieve conservation goals. I facilitate a design process with my clients to create tools, services and programs that drive systemic change, exploring solutions beyond campaigns and educational approaches. I am really passionate about protecting nature and wildlife. Although my design experience stems mostly from healthcare, humanitarian aid, agriculture and climate change resilience programs (see https://designfollowsinsight.com/projects/), I have also worked on developing a biodiversity monitoring and reporting innovation strategy. My goal is to apply design research methodologies and innovation in the service of wildlife and nature.

I am a passionate conservation and environmental scientist pursuing a Ph.D. at ETH Zurich. I am a team player deeply committed to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and using scientific inquiry to drive innovative solutions for our planet's environmental challenges. My research aims to address conservation issues in the cross-realm context. I am developing new spatial methods for identifying priority areas for conservation that are both complementary and connected, assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change, and identifying adaptation strategies In the short term, I am committed to enhancing cross-realm biodiversity conservation through innovative research and collaborations. Long-term: I envision shaping global policies, building partnerships, and empowering communities toward sustainable practices.

I'm a junior ecologist in her first year of working for a consultancy firm. I studied a bachelor ecology at Wageningen university, and also studied in Uppsala for six months. I joined Wildhub because I'd like to go into wildlife conservation abroad.

I am from a maritime province called Milne Bay, in Papua New Guinea, where we have islands called "The Engineering Group of Islands, The DÉntrecasteaux Group of Islands, The Conflict Group of Islands (to name a few).  I have previous experience in industrial chemistry but in the past few years have moved into the environmental and sustainability space. I've done volunteer work with turtle conservation, mangrove conservation and have experience working in remote island communities. I would like to learn more about how community-based conservation and sustainable solutions work for different cultures and countries, and look forward to learning through shared experience here. 

45 years of professional conservation, wildlife management, CBNRM and sustainable development experience across Africa and particularly Southern Africa - ranging from field work through to executive management experience and leadership.
