About Fleur Morton
I am Fleur, based in the UK, and I am the WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme Co-ordinator, supporting conservation professionals to develop their writing, communication, and leadership skills through this inclusive global platform.
I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Behaviour from the University of Exeter and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Oxford Brookes University. My research background includes woodland butterflies and bumblebees, alongside a strong interest in woodland animals more broadly. I also have comprehensive knowledge and expertise in domestic rabbits and their welfare and care.
Alongside my work in conservation, I am the founder of Your Own Mum (https://www.yourownmum.co.uk/), a resource space and weekly journal supporting mothers navigating parenthood without maternal support or a traditional family network. This work draws on my background in psychology and my passion for creating thoughtful, compassionate spaces that help people feel less isolated and more understood.
I am deeply passionate about wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and meaningful communication - particularly where it brings people together on shared paths.

I agree wholeheartedly. 🌿 Thirza is a such a gentle but undeniable force for good. I have her to thank for so many things that WildHub has done for me and I am so proud to see this platform soar. Working with Thirza is a breath of fresh air, so inspiring and energising. She has created such a safe, healthy space for people all over the world and done everything with overwhelming kindness and a very steady hand. We could all benefit from watching Thirza work, and the world could do with more people like her.
Such wonderful news and an amazing milestone 🎇🎉🌱

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Thank you so much for sharing Ussi! What an insightful conversation and so interesting to dive into the world of nature tech 🌱
🌟 Congratulations, Fleur, on reaching Bronze Catalyst status and for the incredible journey you’ve carved out with such grace and curiosity! Your ability to weave empathy, storytelling, and scientific insight into each interview is truly inspiring. I especially loved how you highlighted the power of connection and the ripple effect of sharing stories; your work is a beautiful reminder that conservation is as much about people as it is about nature.
Your path, from patisserie to psychology to conservation leadership, shows how diverse experiences can enrich our field. I’m curious: has your background in psychology and animal behavior shaped the way you approach interviews or storytelling in conservation? Would love to hear more about how those lenses influence your conversations.
What advice would you give to someone starting the role?
Thank you for helping build such a vibrant and inclusive learning space at WildHub! 🌿👏
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
I would say my background in psychology and animal behaviour, and understanding behaviour has really gifted me a wide understanding of key drivers of behaviour and that everyone, human and animal has a wider context and tapestry that is unique to them and influences their behaviour, and you can never stop learning about people and animals in my opinion. It is an endless task and no one knows everything. That is really exciting to me!
My advice to someone starting the role would definitely be follow your passion, it will lead you to the most wonderful places and connect with as many people in the field as you can because everyone has such an incredible story to tell.
Thank you again for such kind words, this really made my day.
From what I have seen on an initial look, there is a platform similar to gather called Work Adventure offering a space for free for up to 15 participants, it looks fairly good if this number limit is alright, here is the link: https://workadventu.re/
Has anyone used this site before at all? Let me know what you think!
"...it is so worth it to keep reaching out to people who inspire you" is such a powerful line! What an incredible person you are, dear@Fleur Morton🌻
And a big congratulations on getting the Bronze Catalyst status! Well deserved.🎉
Oh thank you so much!! ☺️
This sounds wonderful! How can I join?
Don't worry I just found it on LinkedIn - sounds like such a lovely group to be a part of!
