Hello everyone My name is Nyamni Bless Gur from Cameroon.  Passionate about protecting wildlife and restoring habitats, I work on the ground to monitor and assess great apes population and the threats they face, particularly the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees and the Cross River Gorillas. I'm also passionate about conserving forests, and engaging local communities in our conservation efforts. I believe community based conservation practice is vital for a successful long-term management of these species. 

I am an aspiring conservationist, with a deep passion for insular environments, and an interest in both terrestrial and marine animals. I have a strong background in fisheries, with a focus on bycatch of vulnerable species, and I am experienced in species ID and animal husbundry. I just finished a placement as a research assistant for the Italian Research Council working on sustainable fisheries, but I am ready to jump back into hands-on conservation and I am soon starting a new internship in an island sanctuary in Seychelles. I have worked with several species: 🦈🐬🐠🪸🦇🐢🦀🦋🦞🐋🦔🦊🦉🦆 In 6 different countries: 🇮🇹🇨🇾🇫🇷🇵🇹🇧🇪🇸🇨 And I can't wait to learn and explore even more, all while meeting fellow conservationists thanks to this amazing platform! :)

A chartered accountant who trained in audit, accounts and tax preparation and now works carries out a blended role in communications, policy and finance to support beaver restoration in Britain.

I was born and raised in Switzerland, where I spent the first 39 years of my life living what many would consider a typical, privileged Swiss lifestyle – a good job, a successful career, financial stability, and plenty of material comfort. But a few years ago, I came to a life-changing realisation: despite having everything I was "supposed" to want, I wasn’t truly happy. I felt something was missing – a sense of purpose and a life lived in alignment with my heart. Nature and safaris had always been a passion of mine, so I decided to take a leap of faith and follow that inner calling. I took a year off and enrolled in a professional field guide course in South Africa, with placements in Botswana and Zambia. I worked with children and communities in conservation education, capacity building, and research – and absolutely loved it. When the course ended, I knew I couldn’t go back to my old life in Switzerland. I had found not only my purpose, but also the love of my life – and a deep connection to Africa. By chance, I discovered an opportunity at Sensing Clues, and after speaking with Jan-Kees, I realised it was the perfect bridge between my past experience and future goals. Today, I’m working part-time as an Impact Facilitator at Sensing Clues, where I manage marketing, communications, community engagement, and partnerships. Alongside this, I also help co-manage Kusasa, a donor lodge run by the Wild Tomorrow Fund, located in the heart of the stunning Greater Ukuwela Nature Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa – where I’m now living. I joined WildHub because I truly believe in collaboration. At Sensing Clues, we work closely with passionate individuals from around the world to co-create innovative, volunteer-driven solutions for conservation. I’m here to connect with like-minded people, exchange knowledge, and share work opportunities to create a bigger, longer-lasting impact – together and beyond the front lines. We’ll soon be launching free online events through Sensing Clues, and I’d love to share them with this community – so that passionate individuals can learn, contribute, and get involved in meaningful ways.  I also hope to share the practical knowledge and insights I gained in the bush while training and working as a guide.  I’m always looking to grow, explore new ideas, and keep learning. True to my motto –  "Driven by purpose, guided by heart" – I believe that a meaningful life begins with passion, purpose, and connection.

        I am an emerging environmental and climate change professional focused on Environment management, climate action, and sustainable natural resource governance. I am currently in my final year pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Environment and Climate Change at Mukuba University, with a growing orientation toward applied, policy relevant, and community grounded solutions.       My professional experience includes industrial attachment with the Mansa Forestry Department in Luapula Province, where I gained practical exposure to forest management, conservation planning, and the operational realities of environmental governance. This experience reinforced my interest in forests as critical climate systems and strengthened my commitment to linking ecosystem protection with local livelihoods and resilience.         I bring a strong blend of technical, leadership, and advocacy credentials. My training includes ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems Awareness, GIS applications in conservation mapping, leadership in climate change, natural conservation education, climate change and human health, and WASH related environmental programming. These competencies position me at the intersection of environmental management, spatial analysis, public health linkages, and climate leadership, with an emphasis on evidence based action.         Beyond formal training, I have demonstrated leadership through regional and grassroots engagement. I served as the 2024 Africa Ambassador for the Healthy Environmentally Friendly Youth Campaign and remain actively involved with the Mukuba University Climate Change Action Society and the Copperbelt Institute of Natural Resources and Climate Change. I have contributed to tree planting initiatives and community mobilization under platforms such as the Keep Your Promise Campaign, advocating for climate justice and accountability.         My long term direction is centered on advancing practical solutions in forest conservation, environmental management systems, and climate policy implementation. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to integrate science, leadership, and community engagement to drive sustainable and measurable environmental impact in Zambia and across Africa.

As a Ph.D. graduate with a focus on improving animal welfare, my journey is driven by a passion for the natural world and enhancing human-animal relationships. My diverse experience spans independent biological research, community engagement, citizen science, wildlife illustration, teaching, and managing environmental projects. I aspire to keep sharing my expertise as an Educator, Science Communicator, and Illustrator by telling stories about the natural world and sparking curiosity in the community. Let's chat about the wild side of life!

Hello fellow conservation professionals and enthusiasts! It is a pleasure to be here and I look forward to connecting with you. To introduce myself, my name is Jonny. I have a degree in animal behaviour and welfare, a background in zookeeping and a passion for conservation efforts, capacity building and education. I currently host my own conservation podcast 'Conservationists Assemble'. The premise of the show is to raise the profile of earth's threatened species and environments by showcasing the in-situ and ex-situ efforts for them as well as discussing the people and organisations involved and what the future conservation efforts might look like. I am excited to connect with like minded people and hear your stories, thoughts and expertise. Jonny

I'm a dedicated field ecologist and biological scientist with a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience in conservation, ecological data analysis, and sustainability. With an MSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Amsterdam and a BSc from the University of York, I bring a global perspective and a deep respect for nature rooted in my upbringing in Zambia. My work spans diverse ecological projects—from predator-prey behavior under artificial light to long-term vegetation monitoring using GIS and remote sensing. I’ve contributed to field research in Zambia’s Kafue National Park, mapped grazer impacts in the Dutch dunes, and supported customer knowledge systems at a biotech startup. Whether I’m analyzing habitat data, writing scientific reports, or improving internal operations, I’m committed to promoting biodiversity and sustainable practices. Skilled in R, ArcGIS, ecological monitoring, and scientific communication, I enjoy bridging the gap between science and society. I’m currently contributing to conservation in the Netherlands while also supporting operational systems at Purovitalis. I aim to make a positive, lasting impact on environmental stewardship wherever I go.

My name is Judith and I am from the Netherlands. I have a background in IT but moved to nature conservation some years ago.
