Hello! I'm Rebecca, and I am currently at PhD Researcher at Teesside University, and Course Leader for Higher Education at East Durham College. I decided to join MSc Primate Conservation after being inspired during my BSc in Animal Conservation Science. I found a book called "Gorillas in the Mist" and I had a lightbulb moment - primates! I had found my niche. This was confirmed later when I travelled to The Gambia to census the critically endangered Procolobus badius temmincki, during my thesis studying the Callithrix jacchus, and travelling to India to work in a rehabilitation centre for grey langurs and macaques.  I absolutely loved the MSc. It broadened my knowledge, increased my opportunities and really kickstarted my professional career. The lecturers are some of the best the field and it was a privilege to be brushing shoulders with such hard-working academics on a daily basis. I conducted my MSc thesis research at Blackpool Zoo, focusing on Gorilla gorilla gorilla social relationships and enclosure use. The chance to work with this charismatic species was a dream come true! The research has helped the zoo redevelop their gorilla enclosure, using my data to make informed decisions. I am also very happy to be part of a fledgeling, yet crucial organisation: Mountain Marmosets Conservation Program. As part of the Core Operation and Development Team, I am responsible for applying for grants, coordinating a team of students to develop a workshop planning meeting, and researching anything and everything about marmosets! This wonderful program is aiming to help develop an Action Plan to help save the endangered marmoset species' Callithrix aurita and Callithrix flaviceps. I hope to become even more involved with the program as we progress.

Environmental journalist, science communicator and biodiversity advocate with a background in environmental sciences. I work across TV, radio and print – but I want to do more than tell the story from the outside. I've been in the field, I know what it feels like and I translate that experience into language and images that move people and drive change. Previous collaborations include Rewilding Europe (Affric Highlands) and the Zoological Society of Frankfurt. Now seeking an embedded role in conservation communication – as storyteller, media trainer or communications partner within a real project on the ground. Passionate about rewilding, marine conservation and biodiversity. Ready to act.

Two+ decades experience in environmental sustainability. Since 2015 mainly collaborating with international NGOs & funders. Together with Kincentric Leadership, running the Co-creation with the More-than-Human sandbox. This includes monthly online learning sessions, with each session deep-diving into a different approach or praxis through dialogue.

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.

I started my conservation career as a researcher/author for the Arkive online natural world encyclopedia, before managing the Wildscreen Exchange project which gives 350+ organisations across the world access to free photographs and videos for their communications. From working on this project, I developed a keen interest in conservation communications and began researching impact and technique. I also ran the public section of the Wildscreen Festival, Witness the Wild, which is an event programme that includes a travelling bicycle-powered wildlife film cinema, the world's largest recycled and recyclable photography exhibition, and a nature-themed street art gallery. Since then, I have been running my own conservation communications business, Song and Dance Communications, but split my time 50/50 between this and field work, which mostly centres around ecosystem restoration and short-term contracts in the ecotourism industry. I also produce a seldom updated blog, which I hope to spend more time on at some point in the not-too-distant future!

My interests are in finding ways to coexist peacefully with wildlife in shared environments and integrating conservation management with traditional practices. As a self-taught artist, I frequently include these ideas into my illustrations.

Hi, I’m Olivia. I spent 14 years in tech building digital products before following my connection to the ocean and completing a Master’s in Applied Oceanography. Now I work at the intersection of science, technology and policy, focusing on practical solutions for coastal and ocean conservation with a hands-on approach. I’m especially interested in projects that combine data, nature-based solutions and real-world implementation. I’m also interested in science communication, citizen science and other initiatives that connect people more closely with the ocean.
