I obtained MSc in Biodiversity Conservation in 2020 but most research and field work was cancelled so I've had trouble getting out of fundraising roles and into programmatic roles.

I do some contracting and agree with you. However there isnt a website or place specifically for "freelance conservation work". most orgs post on regular job boards or their own. I think it would take a lot of time to get them to use one resource.
What a wonderful initiative!
