I am Marjan Maria, a young and ambitious wildlife biologist also a proud mom to a baby girl from Bangladesh. I am passionate about conserving the biodiversity of my country and protecting its endangered species. I am particularly interested in the behavioral ecology of primates and herpetofauna. I have researched the Bengal slow loris, Phayre's langur, hoolock gibbon, and other endangered species in Bangladesh. I have also worked on developing conservation strategies for these species. I am also interested in the impacts of road infrastructure on wildlife. I am currently working on a project to study roadkill in primates and other animals in Bangladesh. I believe that wildlife conservation is essential for our planet's health and future generations' well-being. I am committed to working to protect the biodiversity of Bangladesh and to ensure that its wildlife can thrive for generations to come. I am eager to learn and grow.

I am currently Assistant Project Officer in the Stakeholder Engagement Team, in Community and Environmental Services at Norfolk County Council, where I am working on the Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Norfolk, in England, I am also supporting a WWF funded Creative Engagement Community Nature Project. For the past fourteen years I have worked in my spare time, with my partner, creating a five acre wildlife habitat at our home in Norfolk, in the midst of intensively farmed land. We now have barn owls, little owls, badgers, hare, water vole, cuckoos, weasels, yellow hammer and so much more regularly on our land, and some have made permanent homes here. I am a career switcher, having worked in television production for most of my life, for many years at a charity which engaged with the Deaf community, commissioning programmes in British Sign Language. Two years ago I completed the Wild Team course on project management which helped me to start on my new career path, along with volunteering for the RSPB and a local nature reserve.
I have a broad range of experience in the management of natural resources, landscape restoration, agriculture, wetlands management and conservation, GIS and remote sensing, data analysis, peace and conflict resolution, and research projects with an emphasis on water quality, aquatic system management, and the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. Through advocacy for policies, conservation education, and conservation projects, I am passionate about preserving the natural world and preserving threatened species. I have delivered superior research services in collaboration with government agencies, religious institutions, and International, regional, national, and local NGOs.

I Julius Saitore am working in tourism industry recently but before I worked with two of conservation and sustainability organisations
I volunteered with Jane Goodall's institute as school coordinator whereby I gave education to students and youth about the importance to conserve environment and enabling them to undertakes actions by planting trees in their areas
Secondly I volunteered at Project rose as educational coordinator whereby the main goal for the organisation was to see the sustainable community by provide them with education with fully funded scholarship
Not only that to be a safari guide means you travel alot to different destinations for exploration and make an interesting point to the tourists for me travelling with people is a spreading of the importance of conservation whenever I meet anybody I just employ "trash in and trash out" wherever i go with tourist the purpose is to try to be kind to the environment and wildlife in places but to make a better world and enjoyable for everyone's in a future
I do like mostly walking safari than other form of tourism activities that's because it is justly friendly to nature.
