I am an undergraduate student at the Institute Of Forestry, Hetauda campus under Tribhuvan University with a keen interest in wildlife conservation and Ecology Study. Currently, I'm working as a student intern at Forest Research and Training Centre under the Ministry of Forest and Environment, Nepal as a part of my undergraduate research study. I'm also seeking for research assistantship for my masters.

Hi, I’m really excited to be attending this course as I want to career switch into Conservation and Project Management will help me on this journey. I currently run my own animal first aid business and I am half way through a Masters in Applied Wildlife Conservation at Anglia Ruskin University. Looking forward to meeting everyone on the course!

I have worked in Further and Higher Education for most of my career. I have experience of project management, stakeholder management, business administration and process improvement. My last role was as a Research Student Manager looking after over 300 PhD computer science students. I decided to chase my dream of working in conservation when I had the opportunity to take voluntary redundancy...if not now, when? was finally the question that make me take the big scary jump. I'm really interested in rewilding, reintroducing species, habitat maintenance and general health of our world's wildlife and habitats. As a career switcher I have limited experience in conservation but have always been around animals and not afraid to get my hands dirty having worked on a farm when I was younger, and I'm keen horse rider. I am currently seeking local volunteer opportunities. Lock-down has obviously made things a bit harder to get as involved as I'd hoped, but am exploring the options that are available remotely.

Am currently a student in Egerton University where am undertaking my course of Bachelor of education in arts specializing in Mathematics and Business studies..  I have been studying entrepreneurship as I do have great interest to engage to credible business ideas that will impact people's lifestyles by creating jobs to youths especially  after graduation from their studies.  Have broad knowledge in this field am planning to learn more ideas about it to make life better and besides exercise Corporate Social Responsibility to facilitate in achieving Sustainable development goals such as poverty reduction, and so on.  I love practices meant to enhance environmental conservation for example application of clean energy sources that contribute to good air to breathe and ultimately have sustainable life here on earth.  Thank you 

I hold a Masters's degree in Environmental Governance with a specialization in Biodiversity from the United Nations University-Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), Japan. I am currently working as an assistant lecturer at the College of African Wildlife Management, Mweka. My research interests lie in the socio-ecological interface and I have a strong background in wildlife ecology and biodiversity assessment. I have served for several projects at the College namely Bee Pollinator Monitoring Project- Tanzania (2017 – 2020) as project coordinator and researcher, Integrating technologies in combating poaching in the Selous Game Reserve project (2017 – 2019) as a researcher and Spatial Monitoring Application and Reporting Tool (SMART) project (2018 – 2020) as project coordinator and researcher including developing a curriculum for Postgraduate Diploma in Conservation Technologies and Innovations. I have also co-authored and published in peer-reviewed journals, presented in scientific conferences

I´m PM4R Master certificated for BID and I work as a Project Manager at Natura International, an NGO dedicated to the creation of protected areas. I am in my last year of Biology at the National University of Cordoba and I am doing my final thesis on mammals in a reserve in my province. During my career I have done volunteer work in La Coronilla, Uruguay with sea turtles and I am currently doing a research internship in the project "Defaunacion de la mastofauna en la porción Sur del Gran Chaco Americano". I would like to specialize in conservation and ecology

I am an evolutionary biologist broadly interested in how biodiversity arises, how does it change through time and space, what are the genetic basis of phenotypes under natural and sexual selection, and how to incorporate evolutionary history as a priority to define extinction risks and species conservation strategies. To this end, I integrate phylogenetics, genomics, species distribution models, macroecological and macroevolutionary analyses of species diversification, biogeography, community ecology, and present-day extinction risk. My research focus on local and macroscale questions that demands to gather large amounts of molecular, ecological, and phenotypic data from the literature, databases, museum collections, and through my own fieldwork and genomic sequencing for ongoing projects. The result is generation novel information, new venues of research questions, and adds value to voucher specimens in natural history collections. Furthermore, this approach provides opportunities to train undergraduates and graduate students, help them feel comfortable acquiring baseline information from specimens, as well as using bioinformatics pipelines and techniques necessary to analyze different sources of genomic and biodiversity data.

MSc Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health. Experience in project management, strategy development, content development (on and off line), helped to develop one of the first word of mouth marketing agencies and lots of experience in Corporate Communications, Marketing & Advertising. Love all things nature based, adventurous, innovative and positive (whilst able to engage with the less positive to turn things around).

My work is serving plant genetic resources conservation and use intervention for food and agriculture development (PGRFA) in Vietnam. We design, develop, carry out platform and strategy, programs on PGRFA and relevant areas, including consultancy, training activities. Currently, we are trying to focus on diversity and evolution works of crop and wild crop relatives (CWRs)in the contexts of climate changes, nutrition and health styles and ecosystem services payments and environments as well as values series of culture, spirit and religions that plant genetic resources contribute to sustainable human social development against future challenges. I hope that we could exchange experience, idea and innovation to contribute in developing a better world. We are looking forward to hearing your feedback, support and cooperation soon

As a biologist and the current Community Outreach Program Director at Macaw Recovery Network, I am deeply committed to leading communities in impactful parrot conservation efforts. My passion lies in connecting people with conservation initiatives, understanding that effective conservation is intrinsically linked to improving the quality of life for local communities. With a strong background in networking and communication, I excel at building relationships and presenting projects with clarity and enthusiasm. These skills have allowed me to represent our NGO internationally, successfully attracting donations and support. My strategic vision and expertise in project planning and management, guided by conservation standards, ensure that our projects are not only effective but sustainable. Beyond my professional life, I find joy and energy in the company of dogs and cats, and I am deeply interested in mental health and relaxation techniques, which I believe are essential for a balanced and fulfilling life.

I'm a wildlife conservationist, with 14 years of hands-on experience in the field management and coordination of international conservation and research programs with endangered wildlife. My work focuses heavily on parrots and macaws, participating in or leading 13 programs in 8 countries. My strong interest is in biodiversity conservation based on field research and focus on wildlife species highly threatened by extinction.
