I work as a Research Coordinator for the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo. I've spent the last 17 years working on research and conservation interventions in Central Africa that aim to reduce the hunting and consumption of bushmeat, initially in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, then later in Congo and DRC. I have also previously worked on conservation projects in Indonesia and Nepal. My passion is for primates, particularly great apes. Much of the focus of my work has been on how to improve the effectiveness of existing conservation interventions - particularly livelihood projects and behaviour change initiatives - by drawing on expertise and research from outside conservation. 

My expertise is wildlife health and conservation. I have focus in wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release. I am interested in one health aspect in wildlife conservation. Having worked as a conservation manager in wildlife rescue centre for 2 years, I have equipped with a decent management and negotiation skills. To date, I work as an advisor in the foundation which undertake the management of wildlife rescue centre Yogyakarta, Java Island, Indonesia. I play role maintaining donor and supervising the overall running of the centre.

I am a marine biology graduate with an MSc in conservation from Plymouth Uni. I use to be the assistant community manager of WildHub and. have a passion for science communication and bringing people together. 🦇 In my spare time I have a blog as well as a Redbubble shop where I sell my artwork. Check it out under my website link :) 🦇 Other interests include the use of technology (specifically cameras) to study animals as well as animal husbandry and advocacy. 

Hi all! I am currently Fauna & Flora Internationals (FFIs) Senior Programme Manager for Conservation Capacity and Leadership. I have a lovely broad remit, but at its heart my job is to support FFI staff and partners strengthen skills in establishing, managing and supporting FFIs conservation work. I do this in lots of ways- designing and running training events, supporting the application of new skills/learning to peoples work, setting up mentoring relationships and peer to peer learning groups, organising exchange visits, work shadowing, master classes etc. We have a big focus on knowledge management in FFI, so don't just focus on how to bring in new knowledge and learning into our organisation, but how to share and apply all the incredible knowledge and skills our 400 strong team already have I have an MSc in Environmental Technology and PhD in Anthropology from UCL where I specialised in human-environment interactions, with a stint as a Teaching Fellow in Human Ecology (maternity cover). Prior to joining FFI, I spent a number of years working in the Central African Republic to assess and improve the integration of conservation and development in the Dzanga-Sangha region, and following gorillas up and down volcanoes in Rwanda with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. Before joining FFI's Conservation Capacity team in 2013, I spent 5 years in FFI’s Africa team, co-ordinating and managing projects in Liberia, West Africa.

My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity development. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I work as Community Manager at WildHub since 2020, and I am an Associate Member of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
