Hi I'm Jen. I am 52 years old  -I have been passionate about Nature & Wildlife my whole life and was brought up in the UK in Devon and then Norfolk, so always surrounded by the wild landscapes and what they have to offer! I now live in Lancashire by the sea but we have access to the countryside within 5 minutes in every direction.  My week is spent between working for The Wildlife Trust & running my Property Rental Business. The rest of the time is doing our 1/3 acre garden which is totally dedicated to nature and the environment. I Volunteer 2 other days a week with my local Wildlife Trust covering roles from Visitor Engagement and Marketing, to woodland conservation, physically tending the reserves, hedge laying, botany surveys, assisting with Beach School on Sand Dunes and much more. I joined WildHub to connect with likeminded people and to complete courses, gathering helpful resources along the way .  I have begun to participate in various training courses and roles and additionally have become involved in local green woodworking groups, forestry societies and more - it has become an addiction!!! :) Also, I am very passionate about mindfulness, wellbeing, forest bathing, wild swimming and spending as much of my time as possible outdoors.  I'm lucky to have travelled to many countries across the world looking at local wildlife, such as South Africa, Canada, USA, and lots of Europe. Additionally I donate to various Wildlife Conservation Charities both in the UK and abroad.  The environment, sustainability and conservation are the things I want to concentrate on from now on.  

Hi all!  My name is Alexandra Howard and I'm a South African PhD candidate focusing on the ecosystem services of bats in apple farms in the Afromontane Research Unit at the University of the Free State in central South Africa. After graduating with a Masters degree in Zoology from the University of Pretoria, I worked as a research manager in the NGO sector with a focus on endangered species including vultures, rhinoceros and pangolins. My goal is to connect the fields of science, conservation and society by narrowing the information gaps and encouraging collaboration.

I work as a Research Coordinator for the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo. I've spent the last 17 years working on research and conservation interventions in Central Africa that aim to reduce the hunting and consumption of bushmeat, initially in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, then later in Congo and DRC. I have also previously worked on conservation projects in Indonesia and Nepal. My passion is for primates, particularly great apes. Much of the focus of my work has been on how to improve the effectiveness of existing conservation interventions - particularly livelihood projects and behaviour change initiatives - by drawing on expertise and research from outside conservation. 

I work chiefly in the Caribbean, and chiefly on Hispaniola, on conservation planning and direct action to conserve forests and birds. In Haiti, I direct a forest conservation program that is protecting and restoring some of the last broadleaf forest in SE Department. I am especially interested in adaptive management, results-based conservation planning (e.g. Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation) and conservation leadership, to continually improve our conservation practice, participation, and impact.

Hi,  I'm Anish, a young conservationist with an interest in nature based solutions, human-wildlife interactions and conservation outside protected areas. I am currently a consultant at Legal Atlas, working on projects pertaining to wildlife trafficking, biodiversity conservation and wildlife health. I founded Think Wildlife Foundation. We have a few research projects on human wildlife conflict and wildlife cybercrime. We also have hosted a few plantations in the past in our neighbourhood and plan to expand these works in the future. I also host The Think Wildlife Podcast!

I am an Environmental Scientist and Marine Ecologist from Kenya, deeply passionate about addressing environmental challenges and empowering marginalized communities. My work focuses on climate change, marine conservation, coastal resilience, and climate adaptation and mitigation. As an MSc Coastal Science and Policy Fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz, I am committed to working with young people and local communities to co-create climate adaptation strategies that integrate traditional knowledge with scientific insights, fostering inclusive and sustainable climate policies. Beyond science, I am a conservation storyteller and photographer, using powerful imagery to amplify the voices of coastal fishing communities and advocate for marine conservation and climate action. With over four years of experience in environmental advocacy, I strive to connect science, policy, and community engagement to develop innovative solutions for vulnerable ecosystems.

For unintentionally setting free a non-venomous injured wolf snake from my room, my college mates call me Snake-man because by doing so, they assumed I endangered their lives. You can find me with wild animals in the mountains, valleys, or plains because our addresses are somehow the same. Outside my job, I do herping and anyone who wants information on this group of animals besides other biodiversity, climate, and social science can contact me any time. Rest, I follow Allan Rufus’ dictum “Life is like a sandwich, birth as one slice and death as the other. What you put in between the slices is up to you. Is your sandwich tasty or sour?” So, it is me who makes my sandwich! Education-wise, I have a PhD Ecosystem Management (University of New England, Armidale, Australia), MSc Biodiversity, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health (Edinburgh University, Scotland, UK), PG Diploma (Hons), Wildlife Management (Wildlife Institute of India), BSc Forestry (Royal University of Bhutan), and High Standard Professional Certificate (Forest Rangers' Course), Northeast Forest Rangers' College, Jalukbari, Assam (now Central Academy for State Forest Service, Burnihat, Assam, India). All my life, I studied Nature Conservation and related Ecological and Environmental Sciences and live to see how rapidly they change. I can do many things many people can do! I have been recently immortalized by a team of taxonomists from the British Museum as they named a torrent frog (Amolops wangyali) from eastern Bhutan after me based on the work I have done on Bhutan amphibians. Thus, frogs in military jackets around Trashigang may carry my name as their specific species epithet. But more than rejoicing, I feel stressed because I feel I should do more in this area and I don't have much time. So, you know...!

I lead the Institutional Fundraising Team at ZSL, working with colleagues across our Science, Conservation and Zoo directorates to raise grants from charitable trusts and foundations, lottery, statutory and bi/multi-lateral funders.   I've been at ZSL since 2018 but have been working in fundraising for the NfPs since 2007.  Relationship and grants fundraising are my specialisms but I have also managed RG and Corporate fundraising functions.
