About Christine Tansey
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.

Thanks @Temitope Rebecca Adelola and @Scovia Akello for this insightful conversation. It is great to hear about the potential for reducing barriers to careers in forestry around the world.
Great work @Temitope Rebecca Adelola, your posts are always informative and enjoyable, and congratulations on your recent role with FAO.
Nice work on your third interview @Taranee!
@Temitope Rebecca Adelola I really enjoyed your interview with @Faisal Elias, you covered a lot of ground in your discussion!
I wondered if there was a network of NGOs in Ghana that work together in some of the advocacy work you do @Faisal Elias ? I'm based in Scotland and your comments made me think about how former colleagues of mine worked with Scottish Environment Link to amplify the voice of the Conservation community.
Thanks for your response @Faisal Elias , yes that sounds like a similar situation arises in all such coalitions, when there are some issues that different NGOs will have very different perspectives. We see that in Scotland where certain joint campaigns only involve some organisations.
Thanks for sharing Cristina's experiences @Frank van der Most, arriving at a point where you get some satisfaction from turning existing skills to a new area is a key milestone.

Enjoyed this interview @Taranee, interesting perspective on how government officials can be ministers for all life and the environment, not just people!
Great to read your thoughts on being part of WildHub and interviewing our community members @Taranee and @Frank van der Most
