Nominated for Pritzker Award (2023)

A Conservation Biologist who enjoys working with birds as focal species to better understand and contribute to the conservation of the natural world. My work often includes a combination of fieldwork, citizen science, capacity building and some scientific writing. A strong academic and research background has helped me to appreciate the need for a science-driven approach to biodiversity conservation, while several years of working with various professionals, citizen scientists and local communities to design and implement biodiversity conservation projects has given me first-hand insight into the crucial role and importance of empowering and working with people if we must achieve sustainable natural resource management. I also really enjoy the opportunities that studying birds affords me to travel and see the world, and the diverse people and cultures that I have been privileged to experience and work with because of my study of birds.

I am a young career multidisciplinary scientist with a Bsc Fisheries and Aquaculture and highly interested in sustainability options including wildlife conservation and environmental protection. I also have professional experience in international development, fisheries and Aquaculture, research and climate change mitigation and adaptation awaiting my first assignment as a technical expert reviewer of the UNFCCC.

Jonathan is an early career academic from Nigeria with 8 years teaching & research experience.  He has published several journal articles & conference presentations. He has also taught courses ranging from wildlife ecology,  conservation,  management and ecotourism at undergraduate level. Prior to joining academia,  he was a conservation education officer in a zoo. He is a recipient of several awards including PTDF PhD scholarship award & PASET-RSIF PhD scholarship award.  Currently, he is a pre-PhD intern in the Animal-Environment interactions lab of the Max-Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, Germany working on Vultures in Drylands project.  

I am an educator and researcher at Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia. As a professional, I have been teaching students in wildlife conservation and management as well as doing research and community outreach in wildlife conservation. In our country, the protected areas have been expanding in coverage, but the wildlife species have been declining in population abundance and diversity. Thus, I am interested to work on conservation capacity build, research, and consulting protected areas to resolve the contradicting facts of expansion of protected areas and loss of wildlife resources. In this regard, I am happy to develop a link with any conservation experts who are interested to work together and share experiences. 

I am a counter wildlife, technical and Operational expert, enthusiast, trainer, advisor, project manager and leader.  Currently working in law enforcement organization, with vast  experience but ready, willing to learn all that is needed to be called " a professional " in my area of expertise, roles, projects or programs that i would be required to manage or coordinate.

Experienced in driving nonprofit community engagement and development across multiple audiences for NGOs, institutions, corporations and foundations. As a storyteller, relationship builder and lifelong learner, I'm committed to understanding audiences to meet and exceed their needs. My experience across multiple organizations with vastly different strategic goals demonstrates my nimble and resilient working style, as well as my commitment to projects and functions of team strategy. I seek to address and remove barriers to conservation education in underserved communities, and work alongside community members to understand and address important, conservation, socio-economic issues.

Senior lecturer in Animal Sciences at University Centre Reaseheath, Cheshire, UK. We are a small university centre based at a land-based college. My teaching focuses on animal behaviour for conservation, behavioural ecology and anthrozoology, I also design and lead our field trips to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya. Prior to lecturing I lived and worked in sub-central Africa (mostly Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe) focusing on the interface between tourism and conservation. I have extensively travelled and worked throughout sub-Saharan Africa and as such African wildlife & ecology is very much prominent in my teaching.  I'm currently undertaking PhD research entitled 'Communities, conservation and commodities: Investigating wildlife value orientations (WVOs) of ground level stakeholders sharing resources in a safari tourism hotspot. 

I am a wildlife lover and I have more than five years collecting data on social behaviors and feeding ecology of mountain gorillas in home. I would like to improve my knowledge and skills in biodiversity conservation and development my career. 

I am a 29 year old man and i have a bachelor of environmental science degree in natural resources management with  expertise in mainly wildlife management and  forestry management. I am interested in conservation hence my decision to join this programme as i feel it will increase my knowledge on the project planning and conservation which is a huge plus in my development in the sector. 

I am excited to have joined the Wild Hub platform as it provides a platform for me to engage with like-minded individuals who are passionate about environmental conservation. As a final year student at African Leadership University, majoring in Global Challenges with a focus on environmental conservation, I am committed to ensuring the protection of endangered plant species and the promotion of sustainable conservation practices. My interest in environmental conservation has led me to work on various research projects, including assessing the impacts of exotic plant species on the ecology of one of the National Parks in Rwanda. Through this project, I was able to gain insights into the complexities involved in managing invasive species and the need for a sustainable approach to conservation. I also had the privilege of working on pre-impact assessments for the expansion of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. This experience allowed me to understand the importance of incorporating the perspectives of local communities in conservation initiatives. Recently, I worked on a project with the Capitals Coalition on sustainable and impact analysis, where I was involved in a case study. This experience enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of the need to integrate economic, social, and environmental considerations in conservation efforts. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work with the National Geographic Society and he Nature Conservancy on a freshwater and community conservation externship. This experience allowed me to gain valuable insights into the complexities of freshwater management and the importance of engaging with local communities in conservation efforts.

I work with the Research and Monitoring programs and am in charge of data collection and analysis for the organization.

A Brazilian biologist who enjoys birding, going to the beach, hanging out with friends, but also staying at home watching series or playing games.
