A dedicated conservation professional with over two years of experience at WWF-Pakistan, specializing in biodiversity conservation, community engagement, and sustainable natural resource management. Holding a degree in Forestry and Wildlife, I possess strong expertise in species conservation and management. Committed to implementing effective conservation strategies and fostering community collaboration to protect and sustain natural resources.

With a master degree in Protected Areas Management, I am working in the wildlife conservation unit as part of my role at APASAT NGO. My role focus on data collection on wildlife, field assessments, human wildlife coexistence and local community’s engagement in conservation efforts. This includes project management, proposal writing for funding and team supervision. I am currently leading a project on Human-Wildlife Coexistence, specifically addressing coexistence challenges between communities and the Critically Endangered Red-bellied Monkey (Cercopithecus erythrogaster erythrogaster) in the Biosphere Reserve of Ouémé. I am leading the team to conduct primate population monitoring, assess the interactions between local populations and primates, undertake coexistence strategies through environmental education, alternative livelihoods, and non-lethal deterrents and enhance community involvement in conservation approaches.

I'm Oladayo Omotayo, a graduate of Wildlife and Ecotourism Management, University of Ibadan. Beyond being a Wildlife Ecologist, I'm a conservationist, a researcher, an academic writer, and a project manager

I am currently studying geographical sciences at Makerere University.  I am also a poet and writer.

I am a dedicated conservation scientist interested in bridging gaps between science, conservation, and policy to benefit wildlife and people. With 20 years of experience across career sectors, I have collaborated in diverse working groups to develop science-based conservation strategies that support biodiversity and stakeholder needs. I specialize in the impacts of climate change and habitat loss on wildlife and ecosystem health. My work on migratory birds as bioindicators of changing seasonality in northern forests in the USA has informed critical initiatives like “Foresters for the Birds” and clean energy policies addressing the climate crisis. In the California Channel Islands, I led recovery efforts with a wildlife non-profit for threatened and endangered species impacted by habitat degradation from introduced species, resulting in species delisting. I taught field courses in sustainable natural resource management in New Zealand that incorporated Indigenous practices. As Director of an undergraduate field research program, I trained the next generation of conservation leaders.  I earned a Ph.D. in behavioral ecology, an M.S. in zoology, and a B.S. in zoology. My postdoctoral work spanned Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, enhancing my regional knowledge of biodiversity hotspots.

I have been engaging as a conservationist and ecologist working as a Biodiversity and Ecosystem Analyst. I am teaching and mentoring students in ecology and wildlife conservation in Higher education together with conducting ecological research and implementing conservation strategies for threatened species and habitats. I am very passionate about promoting environmental sustainability. I enjoy health and fitness, exploring nature, gardening, and conservation efforts.

Hi! My name is Eleonor and I'm an Argentinian currently living in the Netherlands. In the recent years I've specialized in Sustainable Development and Environmental Education. As an advocate towards nature conservation, I've participated for many years in a civil organization in my hometown region. We worked with members of the organization and many stakeholders towards the conservation of the remaining 3% area of forests.  In the present, I've came to Europe to enhance my understanding of conservation from a worldwide perspective. I'm also open to explore new experiences and new jobs! If you are interested in contact with me, please be my guest!

Lydia is a seasoned conservation educator,majorly training learners in primary and secondary schools in Kenya. She is also a social mobilizer and trainer at community workshops, training on conservation of wildlife,wetlands,forests and savannahs. Lydia is very intrigued by wildlife and water related research, prompting her to carry out biodiversity research with Nature Kenya's herpetology,youth and ornithology working groups on a rolling basis. She is also a member of Nature Kenya under HARI and youth working groups.As an educator,she has interacted with at least 100 schools in the last two years during ecological visits to different forests,wetlands and national parks, teaching them about different issues on environmental conservation. I joined this platform to learn how to write compelling proposals for funding,network and face my fear of grant writing.

Conservation Officer for the RSPB Cambs/Beds/Herts area, appointed 2020. Working outside of our reserves to achieve conservation outcomes and support the progress of our Fens Priority Landscape aims. We focus on a few key priority habitats (predominantly wetlands and farmland) to increase the amount of land well-managed for nature (following the Lawton Principles of bigger, better and more joined up) to improve the status of a number of key species associated with these habitats (e.g., Turtle Dove, Black-Tailed Godwits). We work within and around our reserves with landowners / land managers - work of which I currently facilitate the Ely Nature-Friendly Farming Zone, a cluster group of nature-friendly farmers, and engage with and provide advice to our Operation Turtle Dove stakeholders creating or maintaining habitat for Turtle Doves. 2019 graduate from Bangor University with a first class degree in Zoology with Conservation, MZool (Cons) and an MSc distinction in Conservation and Land Management (MSc).

Passionate and dedicated wildlife ecologist with expertise in African ecosystems and a commitment to environmental sustainability and community empowerment. Proficient in R programming and GIS, I specialize in analyzing wildlife survey data and crafting conservation strategies. Skilled in project management, data collection, and impactful communication, I deliver comprehensive reports and manage large data sets with precision. My ability to identify diverse fauna and flora across African landscapes drives innovative biodiversity preservation efforts. With a strong foundation in ecological storytelling and analysis, I strive to create meaningful change by integrating science, technology, and community-driven solutions for sustainable conservation.
