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.

Really enjoyed catching up with this interview @Vicki Villanova and @Anne Mauro. Many reflections will be familiar to anyone navigating reporting back to grant funders - this is such a major element of delivering conservation now. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

It was and will always be a pleasure working with you @Anne Mauro and your team– thanks for your contribution to this interview! This unearthed a lot of potential – and I'm looking forward to seeing more great things from you, me, and the Wildhub community. This was a unique perspective – thanks for adding something special to my work of One-Health!

Thank you for being such a great game-changer.

Great to read your interview with @Anne Mauro - I learned a lot from the experience you shared @Ssali Ogwal Ronald and I'm glad the interview process was a positive experience. 

As Thirza mentioned above, I found your discussion of the intersection of social structures and gender with exposure to zoonotic diseases fascinating. Wishing you all the best in completing your Masters research project and I hope to see more from you on WildHub in future.

Thanks for sharing your experience @Arvind Kumar Chaurasia through @Ussi Abuu Mnamengi's interview. It was interesting to hear how complex the interrelationships between other forms of crime and wildlife crime are. 

You mentioned the role of digital technology both as a way that wildlife crime is conducted and as a tool of enforcement. Are there any particular tools that you think will have a positive impact in future?

Great - it is useful to signpost these for our WildHub community!

Thank you @Anne Mauro for connecting with @Tatyana Humle to share these experiences. 

It was interesting to hear the dual emphasis on the role of communities and cross-governmental/large scale actions to tackle the issues facing primates - working at multiple scales is crucial in so much of conservation.

Thank you @Karen Curiel for sharing your experiences through your interview with @Anne Mauro, it was fascinating to read about the journey you have had.

@Karen Curiel - you highlight that access to technology is not consistent, and that the world of nature-tech is huge and expanding. Do you have any particularly good examples of tech or tools that you think do a great job of reaching the wider conservation community?

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.
