Suhail Bashir
Environmental Consultant, WildHub Community Advocate, ENS Environmnetal Consultancy Sharjah
Experienced Environmental Engineer/Consultant with a proven track record of leading successful environmental initiatives and delivering sustainable solutions. My expertise encompasses a diverse range of areas, including Baseline Studies, Environment Impact Assessments (EIA/IEE/ESIA), Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation, and Environmental Conservation & Sustainability.
Currently, I am making a significant impact as an Environmental Engineer/Consultant at one of the leading Environmental Consultancy, specializing in preparing comprehensive environmental study reports for clients primarily from Hamriyah Free Zone Sharjah and Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority Dubai. These reports play a crucial role in promoting environmental compliance and sustainable practices within the industry.
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.
