Hello, My name is Sundisi Laxmi Hakim from Kampala , Uganda. I am a student of tourism and hospitaly management at Makerere University. I am so excited to be part of the WildHub community.I really hope to learn alot.
I Julius Saitore am working in tourism industry recently but before I worked with two of conservation and sustainability organisations
I volunteered with Jane Goodall's institute as school coordinator whereby I gave education to students and youth about the importance to conserve environment and enabling them to undertakes actions by planting trees in their areas
Secondly I volunteered at Project rose as educational coordinator whereby the main goal for the organisation was to see the sustainable community by provide them with education with fully funded scholarship
Not only that to be a safari guide means you travel alot to different destinations for exploration and make an interesting point to the tourists for me travelling with people is a spreading of the importance of conservation whenever I meet anybody I just employ "trash in and trash out" wherever i go with tourist the purpose is to try to be kind to the environment and wildlife in places but to make a better world and enjoyable for everyone's in a future
I do like mostly walking safari than other form of tourism activities that's because it is justly friendly to nature.
I am a passionate Field ornithologist, conservationist, Wildlife educationist and Researcher, with keen interest in forest birds, butterflies, Dragonfly and damselfly.
Loupa Pius, MSc. Environmental Science and Natural Resource Management at Gulu University in Uganda. Conservation and Policy- Charles R Wall Policy Fellow 2023. I work as landscape officer, at African Wildlife Foundation, The rangeland consultant and Founder of Rural Land Initiative Africa. The Co -chair International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralist (IYRP 2026) Eastern Africa Working Group; Volunteer Coordinator Eastern Africa Indigenous Peoples Alliance (EAICA).
With a passion for nature-based solutions and a personal mission to help accelerate the transition to more sustainable people-environment interactions, my current work and volunteering is dedicated to biodiversity, conservation and remediation projects. My recent research aims to better understand and encourage employees' pro-environmental/ green behaviours and valorisation of residues.
I am passionate to conserve wild life. preserve what is left and sustain the future. I may bring value with my transformational work for the last 30 years in IT.
I have been a transformation coach in software and business industry for almost 20 years, my expertise is to help companies finding their obstacles and transform their ways of working into a collaborative, respectful, integration of diversity and human centric culture. I have been coaching to executives, managers, to software developers in shifting their mindset towards how to work with each other, while adopting new lean and agile practices and mindsets. I often serve as a strategist to the executive in how to make these cultural changes into reality and build a path to for implement the changes.
Most my agile transformations in IT in many companies across different industries were in complex domains (see Cynefin framework), where cause and effect can only be deduced in retrospect, and there are no right answers. These transformations are cultural and thinking mindset shifts, requires human behavioral changes. The solutions often required experimentation and redefining solutions based on introspections and continuous feedbacks.
The magnitude of the transformation ranges from 4000 to 40,000 people in the organization.
I believe and proven I have the skillset to:
help people looking at the problem from a different perspective
use Lean Startup and experimentation for creating effective conservation solutions
facilitate people with conflicting views to come to a common solution
design a strategy to change the culture
define a path to reach the end goal
AM PASSIONATE ABOUT CONSERVATION AND WANT TO SEE THE ANIMALS HAVE THEIR FREEDOM

I am a Science Communicator with a big passion for connecting people back to their inner-child's wonder for wildlife. I believe that everyone deep-down has a love for animals, and I want to help them find it! My skills include content creation, brand strategy, short-form video production, social media marketing, and visual storytelling. Motivating my growth in all these skills is my passion for what I do. Long story short, I love animals and I love talking about them! I enjoy working with conservation organizations to expand their reach and impact through Reels, carousels, TikToks, email marketing, and print designs. If you have a project that you feel I could be a valuable addition to, I would enjoy connecting with you and discussing new opportunities for science communication and visual storytelling.

I hold an MSc in Conservation Biology from the University of Cape Town, under the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology. My project was about quantifying raptor abundance trends in Botswana, through raptor road surveys. I drove 26000 km observing and recording any raptors, perching or flying. This infused my passion for nature and wildlife protection and conservation, as I gained experience in handling live birds such as vultures, eagles etc. My interests include bird ringing, outdoor camping, hiking, and going out for picnics. I am currently a researcher for a Honeyguide-Human mutualism investigation project in northern Botswana. I am also training to become a qualified bird ringer.
