Caring for the Earth is as essential as protecting the organisms within it. Growing up in a community rich in natural resources, yet the lack of ecological awareness led to the vulnerability of biodiversity (flora and fauna) due to devastating environmental degradation. This sparked a pivotal shift in my career path. Instead of healing people (children) as a pediatrician, I chose to heal ecosystems as a Wildlife Biologist and Ecologist.
I am currently pursuing an MPhil in Wildlife and Range Management at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). I have spent the last five years actively contributing to conservation efforts in Ghana. My experience spans roles at the Kumasi Zoological Gardens, Safari Valley Eco Resort (Safari Eco Park), Resource Management Support Center (RMSC), and field research at Mole National Park. I have developed interpersonal, technical, and soft skills in education, outreach, and tour guiding, wildlife Management and research, and GIS and remote sensing applications.
I am driven by the ambition to be a Voice for Wildlife, and I am eager to contribute my skills to a multidisciplinary team like the WildHub Community, where I can help protect Earth’s biodiversity. My love for wildlife and biodiversity has motivated me in every step of my career in the new phase of my life. I hope to take the right direction in fulfilling my passion of caring for wildlife and nature that nurtures us.

Hi! My name is Eleonor and I'm an Argentinian currently living in the Netherlands. In the recent years I've specialized in Sustainable Development and Environmental Education. As an advocate towards nature conservation, I've participated for many years in a civil organization in my hometown region. We worked with members of the organization and many stakeholders towards the conservation of the remaining 3% area of forests.
In the present, I've came to Europe to enhance my understanding of conservation from a worldwide perspective. I'm also open to explore new experiences and new jobs!

I’m a field-based conservationist and institutional founder working at the intersection of ecology, governance, and knowledge systems in the Philippines.
For over 15 years, my work has involved biodiversity research, trail and landscape exploration, community-integrated conservation, and long-term engagement with Indigenous Peoples and local governments. I’ve worked on species rediscovery, reforestation and carbon forestry, conservation field surveys, and governance-oriented mountain initiatives across Luzon and Mindoro. At present, I lead the Mindoro Warty Pig Conservation Project, consult as a Reforestation Manager for the SJDM Carbon Forest, and conduct ongoing studies on a number of species, namely the Mindoro Hawk-Owl, the Mindoro Bleeding-heart Pigeon, and the Sierra Madre Aquatic Skink.
On top of these, I make sure that my work remains focused in answering a broader question: how societies recognize, translate, and govern ecological reality in biodiversity-rich but institutionally fragmented contexts.
In 2024, I co-founded the Sierra Madre Conservation Society (SierraPH), where I initiated four interlinked programs: • Found Nation, a counter-archive for forgotten and long-undocumented species • The Sierra Madre Trail Program, a governance-first framework for ethical movement through mountains • SierraCon, a knowledge summit connecting science, society, and climate resilience • The League of Indigenous Peoples Innovators (LIPI), an institutional incubation platform for Indigenous-led governance innovation
Increasingly, my work explores how cultural memory, art, and ethics shape which species are seen, remembered, or forgotten and how these forces influence conservation priorities and public understanding.
Across these efforts, my focus is on building durable structures that allow ecological knowledge, Indigenous authority, and conservation practice to endure beyond individual projects, personalities, or funding cycles.
I am an aquatic scientist and marine conservationist with over a decade of dedicated experience in fisheries management, community empowerment, and sustainable marine resource governance.
