I help run a UK charity that builds the capacity of conservationists to plan, implement, monitor, and report on their work. I also have a fair bit of experience in tiger and sea turtle conservation.

I am a conservationist based in Nepal. I did my MSc in Conservation and International Wildlife Trade from DICE-Kent. I am currently working to understand the trade dynamics of some of the most traded medicinal plants like orchids and yews. I am interested in understanding how socioeconomic and behavioral factors interact and impact the wildlife trade (incl. the online trade spectrum and various stakeholders in it) and using this knowledge in designing effective conservation actions. 

I am Mahi Puri, originally from India. I currently live in Saipan (a small Pacific Island, near Guam where my husband is pursuing PhD in Marine Biology), while I work remotely for Cincinnati Zoo as a Coexistence Scientist. I completed my PhD in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from University of Florida, integrating ecological and social science methods to prioritize areas for carnivore conservation in human-dominated landscapes of central India. At Cincinnati Zoo, I work with their global in-situ conservation program, supporting various partners in capacity building and research support. I also lead the zoo's Fellowship Program where I mentor and guide Fellows (from local communities) working on various research projects including elephants in Thailand and India, gorilla-based ecotourism in Congo, human-carnivore conflict mapping in Kenya, songbirds monitoring in Ohio etc. I help the Fellows develop their Theories of Change and execute their projects over a 2-year period including data collection, analysis and writing. I would like to improve my training skills related to project planning, MEL etc, hence this course.   In my free time, I love making pottery, going hiking or scuba diving, or reading on my couch while snuggling with my two cats! :)

I was born in Kenya and have lived i the UK for 42 years now. My many years of working with small businesses and running various events to raise the profile of the businesses, has landed me a post for fundraiser Trustee for a UK wildlife Hospital. The founders of the hospital are very seasoned friends of mine and their dedication to saving every wildlife animal bird that comes through their door, is simply inspirational.  Therefore, I want to learn more about writing funding applications and grant applications. I also want to share my experiences of what has worked for us and what has not. Hopefully, we can all become better at doing what we do, through skill sharing.
