I am a Conservation Biologist actively looking for a job.
Protecting wildlife is what drives me. I dedicated a large portion of my life learning about Conservation Biology and working as a volunteer in order to help non-profit organisations save habitats and threatened species.
I've worked in the field and in the office with various people of various backgrounds. I've done surveys, monitoring, risk assessments, public engagement, woodland and grassland management, and GIS analysis and mapping.
I'm specialised in birds, however, the work that I've done also involved other groups like amphibians, reptiles, mammals (rodents and bats) and plants.
I'm actively looking for an opportunity to use my skills for nature conservation and/or to educate the public about wildlife and its importance.

Partnership Officer - Better Biodiversity Data project, National Biodiversity Network Trust
I now work for the National Biodiversity Network Trust as Partnership Officer on the Better Biodiversity Data project, which aims to improve infrastructure and access to biodiversity data in Scotland. I recently worked with WildTeam UK engaging conservationists with its training and resources, and supported WildTeam Bangladesh in their work on the conservation of the Sundarbans mangrove forest and Bengal tigers. I have previously co-ordinated conservation research for a UK-based woodland charity, completed a PhD on phenology in plants and trees that involved a lot of citizen science, and have done many short-term research and conservation jobs over the years.
Experienced in community conservation, world heritage management and ecotourism, I am an extrovert, avid traveler and photographer, easy go lucky person!
I work for a marine science & conservation non-profit studying species and habitats in the Salish Sea and beyond. Much of our work involves looks at how anthropogenic impacts like vessel traffic and underwater noise change the behavior of threatened populations such as southern resident killer whales. Other topics we work on include cetacean distribution and habitat use, the estimated effects of deep sea mining, salmon preservation, and habitat restoration. I have skills in GIS, R, and ecological modeling. I am most interested in research involving spatial data, oceanography, and marine vertebrate behavior.
I previously worked on field projects studying cetaceans in British Columbia and sea turtles in Costa Rica, the US, and Australia.
I completed an MRes in Marine Biology at the University of Plymouth where I used density surface models to assess the distribution and abundance of harbour porpoises around the UK.
Hi there! I am Sara, a PhD student currently working on sea turtle health and population assessments in Australia. My experience also includes having worked for the UNEP-CMS (Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species) on cetacean and sea turtle conservation topics. I would love to specialise in wildlife conservation in the future, and am looking forward to connecting with like-minded people.
Wildlife biologist with cross-cutting interests in wildlife conservation technologies, wildlife and ecological research, climate change.
My name is Irene Kananura Natukunda. I am the Co-founder and COO at Biodiversity Hub International (BHI), an environmental scientist, a passionate conservationist and a nature lover. In the past 4 years, i worked as a volunteer as several organisations including Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN-Uganda), Earth Day Network, Fridays for Future-Uganda, Nature Uganda, Youth Go Green and many other where i learnt a lot and became more passionate about nature conservation. I am so interested in engaging in activities that contribute towards nature restoration and climate change mitigation such as planting trees on degraded forests and creating awareness in communities around wildlife protected areas to reduce human-wildlife conflicts that result into poaching and illegal trade of critically endangered species. I like to connect and engage with like-minded people which i believe has helped me to increase my knowledge and understanding in the field of biodiversity conservation. I help in write project proposals and concepts for my organisation which has truly been a great learning journey.
I am so honoured to be a member at Wild Hub and am hoping to learn more and share as much as i know towards one main goal of conserving wildlife to end the silent killer known as Biodiversity Loss.
Thanks

I am currently a zookeeper studying in wildlife conservation and taking the program management and grant writing course with wild teams. I love being outdoors walking in nature
Hello
I have been working within the conservation sector for 7 years. The first 2 years I was a park ranger in a coastal park next to The Medway Estuary.
For the past 5 years I have working as a Project Officer for The Medway Swale Estuary Partnership. We are a not profit organisation with only 2 part time members. I run the educational and volunteer elements of our projects.
My Name is Pete and this is literally my first step into a career in conservation. I'm usually based in the Peak District (UK) and my background is in the Outdoor industry; having done a BA in Outdoor Studies in the Lake District (UK) back in 2009 and worked primarily as a mountain bike guide and expedition leader ever since. In 2012, my wife and I set off on a 20,000km bike ride form the UK to New Zealand which we completed over 2 years and since getting back I have set up and run my own company 'Adventure Pedlars', a not-for-profit organisation which aims to facilitate meaningful experiences in nature through cycle-touring and bikepacking. I also work for a youth expedition company taking teenagers on developmental expeditions all over the world.
However, now I'm at somewhat of a crossroads in my career, having recently had two small children, Covid putting the brakes on overseas work and, recognising the urgency of the climate & biodiversity crisis, I now feel a strong pull towards applying myself to the conservation and environmental sectors. As such, I've just signed up for a part-time MSc in 'Sustainability & Behaviour change' at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) and I'm in the process of applying for a Project Management traineeship with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. I also hope this course will set me up on the right track and inform my next steps..
As you might be able to tell, I have a passion for all things adventurous (especially if it's on a bike!) and I love to share this with others. I guess my aim is to eventually find a way of linking adventure and conservation, using experiences in the outdoors to foster behaviour change towards the environment but I'm also excited to see what this new direction throws at me!
Hello, I have worked in conservation for about 30 years, having started out as a volunteer in Wales and Scotland. My first roles were as a Wildlife Warden and Ranger in Dorset and Derbyshire and then in Project Management for community environmental projects. I now work for Dorset Wildlife Trust as their Urban Green Project Officer, engaging with underserved communities, BAME and particularly 16-24 year olds. The aim of the project is to empower communities to take an active interest in their local green spaces for conservation and well being.
