Lucy Tallents (She/Her)

Conservation educator, VerdantLearn
I am I am Ann Kuria, a degree degree graduate in Environmental Studies & Community development which closely aligns with the WILDTEAM’S focus on conservation. The degree has equipped me with a strong understanding in ecological principles, environmental policy and sustainable practices. It has also equipped me with knowledge and skills necessary for protecting and restoring nature, encouraging a harmonious interaction between human beings and the environment.                       I joined WildHub because I have a particular interest in project management, particularly in how it can be applied in conservation initiatives. Project management is crucial for successfully implementing conservation projects, from planning and execution to monitoring and evaluation. I’m excited about the opportunity to leverage my skills in project management to drive impactful conservation efforts.  Some of my experience in conservation in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya lies in: •Lion tracking •Monitoring grass species composition and biomass status.        •Monitoring population structure of threatened herbivore species, specifically the Grevy's zebra and Beisa oryx.  •Monitoring population dynamics of select predators particularly the cheetah, lions and hyenas.      •Mapping active and old abandoned cattle bomas around the conservancy. I am keen to apply project management principles to streamline processes, manage resources efficiently, and achieve measurable outcomes in conservation projects. By integrating my passion for environmental sustainability with my project management skills, I aim to contribute to creating and executing effective conservation strategies that benefit both the environment and the communities involved.

Edward Swai

MSc Student , Nelson Mandela Institute of Science and Technology-NMIST

"Hello, everyone!  My name is Edward Swai, and I am a Tanzanian wildlife researcher and conservationist passionate about protecting biodiversity and promoting sustainable ecosystems." "I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife Management from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) and am currently pursuing an MSc at Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST). My academic journey has been enriched through research roles with renowned institutions such as GRUMETI FUND, GMERC, EACOP, SUA, and MUST "My primary expertise is in wildlife research, conservation, and ecological studies. I am particularly interested in scavenger species, focusing on the role of vultures and decomposer flies in nutrient cycling, disease ecology, and forensic science. My ongoing MSc research investigates the impact of vulture scavenging on decomposer fly communities in the Serengeti ecosystem and Ruaha National Parks, intending to understand how these interactions influence broader ecological processes." "I am deeply passionate about promoting conservation-driven research that addresses key ecological questions. I am especially drawn to studies on vertebrate and invertebrate scavengers and their impact on ecosystem health and their application especially in wildlife forensic studies which is of limited use in many conservation initiatives. Beyond research, I’m dedicated to using modern tools and technology to enhance data collection and analysis for conservation initiatives." "I am always open to learning from others, collaborating on conservation initiatives, and exploring new research opportunities. If you’re interested in connecting or have insights to share, I’d love to hear from you!"
