I work as a programme supervisor and project manager in the South West of England. Within my portfolio I specialise in sustainable land and water management, with a focus on river restoration and woodland habitat creation/restoration. My professional interests include natural flood management, as well as nature based solutions for climate resilience. Outside of my specialisations I am very interested to learn more about marine conservation and marine protected areas globally.

I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Development Studies, with Major in Agrarian, Food and Environmental Studies (Specialisation - Environment and Sustainable Development) from International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam. I am a highly skilled Natural Resources Conservationist, Agricultural and International/Rural Development expert with 15years experience in developing, implementing and monitoring forestry and wildlife conservation programs; linking agribusiness to conservation, community empowerment and climate change mitigation and adaptation in Zambia. I have coordinated various programs with international donors including the World Food Program of the United Nations, UNDP, the World Bank, WWF and USAID among others, in Agriculture, climate change adaptation and mitigation and Natural Resources management. Excellent skills in stakeholder engagement and networking; coordinated projects and programs with the Zambian Government, local and international donors and other support stakeholders.

I am a wildlife film-maker and photographer from Kenya. Besides producing wildlife documentaries, we also publish coffee table books with Augmented Reality.  I run a company in Kenya, and we are also fixers for foreign productions wanting to come and film in Kenya. Looking forward to networking and meeting new people, possibilities of working together and also find platforms to showcase our content. I am keen on sharing the little knowledge/ experience I have and also would like to learn from others.

I have been dealing with chemical-free production systems, organic farming and the issue of biodiversity for a decade. I run a bird nest station on my own farm, where I research the possibilities of cooperation between birds and people. During my work, I developed an agricultural production system that uses the ecosystem services of birds to help implement agroecological practices while making the landscape healthier. It was named the bird-human cooperation system. My goal is to create a win-win relationship that realizes the long-term sustainable use of land and landscape, with particular attention to agricultural production systems.
