Student, University of Agriculture Faisalabad

Unravelling the Wonders of Nature 🌿🔬 | Passionate Wildlife Conservationist & Molecular Biologist 🐾 Greetings! I am Shehroz Abbas, a driven and enthusiastic professional with an insatiable curiosity for the natural world. As an explorer of the wilderness, I have traversed remote landscapes, employing advanced field survey techniques like Mark-Recapture studies, transect surveys, and Telemetry to unravel the secrets of animal behaviour and biodiversity. My eyes light up when tracking elusive species or discovering the hidden gems of our ecosystems. On the other side of the microscope, my expertise in Molecular Biology techniques, such as PCR, Southern Blot, Western Blot, and SDS-PAGE, empowers me to explore the intricate molecular mechanisms that underlie the beauty and diversity of life. Bridging the gap between fieldwork and laboratory research allows me to unravel complex ecological puzzles and contribute to the greater understanding of our planet's ecosystems. What sets me apart is my passion for making a tangible impact on wildlife conservation. I wholeheartedly believe that the delicate balance of nature must be protected for future generations. My unwavering dedication to wildlife conservation drives me to seek a Master's position in Wildlife Ecology, Zoology, or Biodiversity. I am eager to delve deeper into ecological research and contribute to the protection of our planet's rich biodiversity for future generations.

Teacher Assistant, Organization for tropical studies

I am an Ecologist deeply passionate about understanding the behavioural strategies small mammals use to survive in seasonally food-restricted environments. I completed my Master’s degree in Behavioral Ecology at the University of Witwatersrand, where my research was on the behavior of bush Karoo rats (Otomys unisulcatus) in Namaqualand, South Africa. My study focused on the "plantong" these rodents collect, exploring whether this behavior is an adaptive response to seasonal harshness or simply a by-product of their foraging activities. This research was driven by my desire to uncover how these food specialists manage to thrive in the challenging conditions of the Succulent Karoo semi-deserts. I have also touched base on a few things: looking at how acacia trees influence grass species around them, using biocontrol agent for plants that are invasive to freshwater systems, rangeland ecology, reforestation of forest back to their natural state, land use by small mammals, using camera traps to understand behavior and diurnal range of small mammals. Something interesting about me is that I always look like I am angry/frowning, trust me I am not. It’s just  that I’m bit sensitive to bright light.

Julius Saitore

Safari guide (English and French speaking), Simba safaris

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.

Rezoana Arefine

Snake expert, Kundali Foundation

I am Arefine. I am an anchor & reciter. In between my studies in zoology, I am involved in extra curricular activities. I focus on field studies since my undergraduate studies. Field study alone and observing became my addiction. Photography was also added to this addiction. Although watching nature, observing animals is my passion, the thought of working on a specific subject did not come to my mind. After that, I started working at the marginal level with snakebite patients during the Corona period. Then I chose calligraphy as a means of awareness to reach people quickly. Although I did not give priority to online then, I later built my organization called Kundali Foundation. Under the banner of this organization, i started the work of conveying the message of awareness to people called 'Be Aware Of Snake'.   I was able to deliver my message to 495 upazilas of Bangladesh. The war is still going on because the fear of snakes has not died down among people.

Emma O'Brien

Personal Assistant, Cancer Research UK

Hi there! I'm based in London (Irish citizen, from Galway). I studied Applied Marine and Freshwater Science and graduated in 2016. I worked in this field, took part in research surveys (oceanography and cetacean sightings) and did some volunteering in marine conservation. Since moving to London in 2018, my career shifted to corporate, start up, and small businesses, working as an Exec Assistant and Project Manager.  Conservation and Animal Behaviour and Welfare is still a big passion of mine and I want to immerse myself back in this line of work! In order to do this, I need to up-skill and become more educated with the current climate of Wildlife Conservation; What are the challenges being faced, what skills are required to tackle these and how can I use my current set of skills to move my career in this direction - this is what has led me to WildHub 🙂 I'm actively seeking employment in this industry and willing to start at entry level if required (e.g. apprenticeship) so if you do know of any opportunities, please get in touch, I'd love to talk more! 
Davide Annese

student , WildTeam

I joined WildHub as part of my course "Project Planning for wildlife conservation". I am a career switcher interested in switching to a conservation career. My background is mostly in Synthetic and molecular Biology and biotechnology. I have a bachelor in Biology where I excelled in subjects like Zoology, ecology, and botanics. I have been an avid animals and plant lover for my whole life and I am approaching this field considering a switch in career. I am particularly into birds and bird conservation.
