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!

Ron van der A

Chair, Stichting Painted Dog Conservation

First I will introduce myself:  My name is Ron van der A and I have visited the Painted Dog Conservation project in Zimbabwe for the first time in 1999. Many years have followed.   In 2004, we, in The Netherlands , have started a foundation. Main reason was to be more professional in our support to the project.  Website project: https://www.painteddog.org  Website Dutch foundation: https://painteddogconservation.nl   And why am I so dedicated to the African Wild Dog? In the Netherlands and Zimbabwe? Sometimes you don't choose something; it comes to you, as it did for me. During several safaris in Kenya and Tanzania in the 1990s, my passion for Africa developed, and I wanted to give something back to African nature. After volunteering in Swaziland and Kenya, I encountered the Painted Dog Conservation Project in Zimbabwe in 1998. The project's development in collaboration with the local population appealed to me greatly, especially given the extremely difficult conditions in Zimbabwe. After many years as a volunteer, my passion transformed. It was a feeling that is hard to put into words, something that touches your soul and approached the essence of my life. The collaboration between the parties involved took shape and led to a more professional approach. This approach resulted in the establishment of our foundation in 2004. It is a privilege to be the chairman of the foundation. The foundation's goal is to protect the current population of African wild dogs. Additionally, it aims to increase the number of wild dogs and expand their range both in Zimbabwe and in countries beyond. The wild dog (painted dog) is listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List. There are only 6,600 wild dogs left, which is just one percent compared to a hundred years ago! I hope that our websites,https://www.painteddog.org and www.painteddogconservation.nl, invites you to support this special project!

Somoye Olawale John

Principal Zoo Curator, Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta Zoological Park

I am Somoye Olawale John, a dedicated wildlife management professional with over a decade of experience in the field. My journey in wildlife conservation began with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Applied Zoology from Olabisi Onabanjo University, where I developed a deep interest in the intricate dynamics of animal populations and their ecosystems. This passion led me to pursue a Master of Wildlife Management from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB). Currently, I serve as the Principal Zoo Curator at FUNAAB Zoo Park, a role I have held since 2021. In this capacity, I oversee animal husbandry standards, museum keeping, and taxidermy, as well as the construction and maintenance of zoo facilities. My responsibilities also include research, training, and mentoring students, capturing and restraining zoo animals, and administering care and treatment to the animals. Before this role, I was the Zoo Curator, where I gained extensive experience in animal care, facility maintenance, and visitor engagement. My professional interests lie in wildlife ecology, with a particular focus on primate population dynamics and foraging behavior. I have contributed to several research projects and publications, including studies on ectoparasites of domestic dogs and antimicrobial resistance in non-human primates. I am an active member of several professional bodies, including the Nigeria Society for Environmental Conservation (NSEC), Wildlife Management Society of Nigeria (WISON), Nigeria Association of Zoo Gardens and Parks (NAZAP), and the Zoological Society of Nigeria (ZSN). These affiliations keep me connected with the latest developments and best practices in wildlife conservation and management. In my free time, I enjoy reading, meeting new people, and playing chess. I am excited to be a part of the WildHub community and look forward to exchanging knowledge, ideas, and experiences with fellow conservation enthusiasts.
