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.

Thank you for sharing your experiences @Shaleen Attre and congrats on your first interview @Uchenna H Anyaorah!
I found it useful to see your takeaway messages and think about the parallels with WildTeam Bangladesh's work with community-driven initiatives to mitigating human-tiger conflict in the Sundarbans.
Thanks @Emily Caruso for sharing your insights with @Anne Mauro - looks like a fascinating discussion.
I was particularly drawn to your emphasis on external input being about support and catalysing action - especially given some of the barriers to funding you mention.
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.
