Adam Roberts

Counter-Wildlife Trafficking / Conservation Biologist / Wildlife Photographer, Self Navigating!

Dice alumni, Conservation Biology MSc. Adam has been a global wildlife conservation practitioner in wildlife trade, a forager, ranger, field guide, and wildlife photographer for over 18 years. He has worked within Cambodia for 8 years with NGOs including the Wildlife Conservation Society, Jahoo, Elephant Valley Project, and Marine Conservation Cambodia. His writing, captures, and photo journalism has been shared by NatGeo, Disney, Traffic, and the IUCN. He focuses his photographic work on the unseen, wildlife trade, and environmental education, giving nature a voice not commonly heard. He hopes that his work inspires a different perspective on our human place within nature as its protectors, not living alongside it, but rather living as one and creating a better world to leave for future generations.

Natalie (Tally) Yoh

Postdoctoral researcher, UW-Madison

I am a conservation scientist focused on understanding the impacts of landscape-scale disturbance on tropical biodiversity. I’m particularly interested in how we can combine acoustic technologies and machine learning to quantitatively assess these impacts, as well as assess the effectiveness of conservation initiatives. I'm currently a postdoc researcher at the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, UW-Madison using soundscapes to assess the value of forest certification for wildlife in logged forests in Gabon. Previously, I completed my PhD at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology focused on bats in Borneo.

Tori Jeffers

Conservation Leadership Coach, Conservation Coaching

Working in conservation was always my dream job! It took me a while to get there but fast forward some years and I was leading conservation programmes and teams around the world. During my time in that role I realised that I was both at risk of burnout and had become a little disconnected from the day-to-day conservation impact that I was passionate about. However, I loved developing, supporting and coaching the teams I managed and decided to re-train as a coach so that I could spend more time focusing on supporting others to excel in their role and remain passionate and effective within the conservation sector. I joined WildHub to stay up-to-date with the conservation world, share my experiences and support conservation professionals however I can.

Rebecca Jefferson

Founder and Director , Human Nature

I am a social scientist and passionate about increasing the application of social science research and methods in the conservation sector. To do this, I founded Human Nature. Human Nature is a social enterprise empowering conservation professionals to use social sciences to impact people and planet. We provide training and mentorship to NGOs, academics, policy makers and others wishing to build their foundations in social science. Many people working in conservation have trained through natural science routes, and find themselves needing to better understand the people elements of ecosystems. Social science provides the tools do this. Please get in touch if you are interested in hearing more about what we do.  You can contact me at https://humannature.co.uk/contact.
