Debbie Ryall

Administrator, Millfield School

I have worked in administration for over 15 years in various roles including a veterinary practice and currently run a music department at an independent school. I have always been passionate about wildlife and am very fortunate to live in the beautiful rural county of Somerset in the UK. The Somerset Levels are largely wetlands with great visitors sites and projects run by the Somerset Wildlife Trust. We have a lot of visitors coming to see the diverse species of birds and other wildlife, the starling murmurations are amazing and draw thousands of visitors a year. Conservation is something I am very passionate about and would love to learn the skills needed to work in this sector. I worked with an animal charity in Thailand several years ago and would love to work on a conservation project in Costa Rica in the future.
Ruth Jepkemoi

Biodiversity conservationist , Kang4Nature

I am an environmentalist with five years of experience in biodiversity conservation and wildlife management. The pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology marked a monumental step in shaping my professional journey in conservation. In 2019, I co-founded Kang4Nature, a volunteer youth group dedicated to executing environmental restoration projects in Nairobi, Kenya. This initiative showcased my leadership potential and eventually led me to assume the role of Programs Manager at CHD Conservation Kenya a grassroots organization committed to fostering public engagement in conservation through education and awareness programs, citizen research, and sustainable enterprise development. In this capacity, I have refined my skills in various areas, including curriculum development for youth engagement in conservation, promoting diversity and inclusion of indigenous women and girls in rangelands, stakeholder engagement, partnership cultivation, and fundraising. My commitment to leadership growth led me to participate in the Women in Conservation Leadership fellowship offered by the Centre for Protected Area Management at Colorado State University and the Project Management in Global Health program offered by the University of Washington. These experiences, along with my recent accomplishment of attaining a Master of Philosophy in Conservation Leadership from the University of Cambridge, have contributed significantly to my skill set. While studying at the University of Cambridge, I collaborated with Fauna & Flora, an international conservation organization. My role involved developing guiding recommendations to promote gender-transformative approaches within the conservation sector. Additionally, I provided consulting services to UNEP-WCMC, where I focused on devising innovative strategies to turning complex National Ecosystem Assessment (NEA) reports into impactful Summary for Policy Markers (SPMs). My journey reflects a blend of academic rigor, hands-on experience, and a profound commitment to driving positive change in conservation.
