I’m Natalie Kasera, an executive assistant at Athena and a science graduate whose childhood afternoons tending my grandfather’s goats and cows on our family farm first taught me that every animal, no matter how humble, deserves compassionate care. At the Kenya Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, I spent weekends suturing wounds on stray dogs and leading youth workshops, realizing that healing often begins with small, everyday acts of kindness. That same spirit guided me to WildNow Foundation, where I spearheaded the Pandamiti Initiative, mobilizing and leading a cross‐functional team of 15 volunteers to plant over 250,000 native trees across five Kenyan counties, laying the groundwork toward the 1 million‑tree national goal. Now, alongside my role at Athena, I’m deepening my impact by studying project planning for wildlife conservation. I’m weaving together clinical rigor, community trust, and strategic tools  (GANTT charts, stakeholder mapping, logical frameworks) to build initiatives that safeguard Kenya’s biodiversity and strengthen human–wildlife coexistence. Whether it’s partnering with rangers to deliver emergency wildlife care or co‑creating disease‑prevention workshops in Samburu, my journey is about translating passion into projects that endure. I’m excited to be part of this WildHub community and these courses, and I look forward to connecting with others who share a deep commitment to safeguarding our planet’s biodiversity.

I am a Dutch tropical field ecologist living in Colombia, working as a Project Manager for the NGO Fundación ProAves. In this role, I focus on securing funding for a wide range of conservation initiatives across the country and beyond. My work allows me the privilege of frequently visiting ProAves’ 27 nature reserves spread throughout Colombia’s diverse ecosystems. As an ecologist, my interests span multiple disciplines, including botany, geology, and soil science. However, my true passion lies in zoology, especially birds, primates, and herpetofauna. Over the years, I’ve conducted extensive scientific fieldwork throughout the Neotropics during numerous internships and expeditions. That deep connection to the region’s biodiversity ultimately led me to stay and dedicate my life to conserving the extraordinary species and habitats of what is truly the land of birds.  Soy un ecólogo tropical neerlandés radicado en Colombia, donde trabajo como Director de Gestion Proyectos para la Fundación ProAves. En esta labor, me dedico a gestionar y asegurar financiamiento para una amplia gama de iniciativas de conservación a nivel nacional e internacional. Gracias a ello, tengo el privilegio de visitar con frecuencia las 27 reservas naturales que ProAves protege en distintos puntos del país. Como ecólogo de vocación, mis intereses abarcan diversas disciplinas como la botánica, la geología y las ciencias del suelo. Sin embargo, mi verdadera pasión está en la zoología, particularmente en las aves, los primates y la herpetofauna. A lo largo de los años, he realizado extensos trabajos de campo científico en el Neotrópico durante múltiples pasantías y expediciones. Esta conexión profunda con la biodiversidad de la región me llevó finalmente a quedarme y dedicar mi vida a conservar las especies y hábitats extraordinarios de este territorio que, con razón, puede llamarse la tierra de las aves.
