I am Fleur, based in the UK, and I am the WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme Coordinator.
I am a Master's degree graduate in Animal Behaviour from The University of Exeter and a Bachelor of Science graduate in Psychology from Oxford Brookes University. I have researched woodland butterflies, bumblebees and have a strong interest in woodland animals, as well as comprehensive knowledge and expertise in domestic rabbits and their welfare and care. I am so passionate about the field of wildlife conservation, bunny rabbits, and with a background in Psychology I am also passionate about connecting humans on similar paths when things can feel isolating.
My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
