Olivia Grech

Applied Oceanographer focusing on conservation & restoration, n/a

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.

Kristoffer Noriel Ordoñez

Imaginast, Sierra Madre Conservation Society

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. Rather than focusing on single projects or short funding cycles, my work centers on 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.

Marine Debris Cleanups: Organizing and participating in cleanups to protect our oceans. Community Engagement: Facilitating group discussions and outreach programs to foster local involvement in conservation efforts. Data Collection and Entry: Gathering and managing data crucial for research and conservation projects. Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution: Developing strategies to mitigate conflicts between humans and wildlife.  My interests are deeply rooted in:  Wildlife Protection: Advocating for and implementing measures to safeguard endangered species. Environmental Education: Sharing knowledge and raising awareness through my Twitter (X) page. Habitat Restoration: Participating in projects aimed at restoring damaged ecosystems. Community Engagement: Collaborating with local communities to develop sustainable conservation strategies. Policy and Advocacy: Working on policies to support and enhance conservation efforts.  While I currently possess a broad range of skills, I am eager to specialize further and make a significant impact in the conservation community. Being part of the Wild Hub would provide me with the perfect opportunity to refine my expertise and contribute meaningfully to global conservation efforts.

Ali Ponko

Post Graduate Student , None

I've recently immigrated to the Isle of Man from California to join my Manx husband and continue my career in conservation. I have a B.Sc in Wildlife Management and Conservation and an M.A in Biology with a focus on community-based conservation. I am all about creating space for nature-human connectedness through empathy and compassion.  My past work experience includes being a Nature Instructor in Monterey, California for an environmental nonprofit focused on low-income communities, as well as a Woodland Ranger on the Isle of Man where I managed a native tree nursery and a local woodland, providing tailored engagement opportunities. I most recently led the first green prescription programme on the island! As I wait for my Spousal Visa to be approved, I am on the hunt for a new conservation opportunity! Let's connect :) 
Ssali Ogwal Ronald

Head of Community Health & Conservation Programs, Conservation Through Public Health

I’m a Ugandan public health and One Health specialist connecting human, wildlife, and ecosystem health. My journey began in a rural village, where health was only seen in clinics. Working with Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) taught me how communities, wildlife, and ecosystems are inseparably linked. I lead programs across Uganda’s protected areas with Village Health and Conservation Teams, youth, women’s groups, and reformed poachers to implement disease surveillance, biosecurity, and community-led conservation solutions. I hold an MPH and a postgraduate certificate in Global Health (Human-Animal-Ecosystem Interface, University of Geneva), contribute to peer-reviewed publications, and present at global forums, including the World One Health Congress. I believe community ownership is not an add-on—it’s the intervention. One Health is not a theory; it’s people, relationships, and shared responsibility. 🔗 LinkedIn Profile
