About Fairuse Akter
An explorer and an aspirant biodiversity conservation researcher with two years of track record in climate justice advocacy, Just Transition project leadership, and project management. I seek to delve deeper into the study of the human-nature nexus and strive to foster more harmonious coexistence.
I have a brief wildlife conservation experience at Creative Conservation Alliance on Western Hoolock Gibbon and a few other wild animals. Besides, I am undertaking training on snake rescue and other wildlife management from Save Wildlife and Nature (SWAN). I am also working as an Associate Trainer at Mekateam, a game-based pedagogy where I provide trainings on basic climate literacy and biodiversity conservation to youth. Moreover, I synthesize and express my understanding of biodiversity and natural world through my initiative, 'Toru.'
I completed my bachelor's degree from the Department of Development Studies, University of Dhaka. Currently, I am pursuing an MSc degree on GIS in Environment and Development. I aim to produce impactful conservation research on Asian Elephants in 2025 addressing the human-elephant conflict.

This was a good read! What I loved the most is that the system thinking skill required for a sustainable world pretty much ask us to break the 'individualistic' mindset. We not only need to think of other people, but also the animals, bugs, and all the other things that were once thought to be less important than humans.
I hope this gets everyone thinking! Thank you so much for sharing!
Great opportunity! Thanks for sharing 🌻
Hello, Peter! A warm welcome to our WildHub community!
Your work sounds so meaningful. I do wonder whether working with law enforcement data brought you into closer collaboration with ranger teams or local communities?
Incredible use of technology for conservation!
I’m curious if this approach could be adapted to other migratory species or fragile ecosystems facing similar challenges.
Thanks for sharing, Nalini! Registered! See you there!
Hi Jakob, welcome to WildHub!
It is really amazing to hear your journey working with gorillas and chimpanzees. It must be full of stories! Would you kindly share a bit more about how you mentor students or design training sessions? I’d love to learn from your experience 🌻
This is a great opportunity! Thank you for sharing, Loretta!
Mentioning a few of our WildHub members. I hope this benefits you or someone you know, so please share it within your networks.

I just read the paper and watched the two videos! I must say that this was one of the thrilling documentation of tortoises I've seen! Thank you so much for sharing it, Przemyslaw!
Do you know if this behavior has been seen elsewhere since that 2020 observation? Or any further updates? Would be interesting to explore if it’s isolated or part of a wider pattern among island tortoises.
Agreed!
I discussed this research with a colleague, who mentioned that while a Burmese Python was observed eating a Reticulated Python, there was no significant change in the eating habits of tortoises. I hope there will be more research on this soon.
These are really important events. Thank you for sharing, Flavia!
