Conservation Biologist Looking For Opportunities, Unemployed

I am a Conservation Biologist actively looking for a job. Protecting wildlife is what drives me. I dedicated a large portion of my life learning about Conservation Biology and working as a volunteer in order to help non-profit organisations save habitats and threatened species. I've worked in the field and in the office with various people of various backgrounds. I've done surveys, monitoring, risk assessments, public engagement, woodland and grassland management, and GIS analysis and mapping. I'm specialised in birds, however, the work that I've done also involved other groups like amphibians, reptiles, mammals (rodents and bats) and plants. I'm actively looking for an opportunity to use my skills for nature conservation and/or to educate the public about wildlife and its importance.

I am a science communicator - in the early part of my career but learning quickly.  My main platform is The Curious Environmentalist but I also have a personal website and I have recently started a newsletter on Substack. I currently write and do podcasts, but I am hoping to expand into videos too. My whole ethos is about making science accessible to anyone who is curious.  I'd love to connect!

Joao L B Guimaraes

Head of Environment , Faya Foundation

My name is João Luis Bittencourt Guimarães, I am a forest engineer with a master’s degree in nature conservation. I live in the south of Brazil, in Curitiba, with my wife and two children. I was born in France, where I lived until I was two years old, when my parents decided to return to their homeland, Brazil.   I have been working for over 20 years on the themes of biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services and water resources. I have accumulated experience both in the private sector (in companies and as a consultant) and in the non-profit sector(environmental organizations). In recent years, I have worked extensively on the themes of Ecosystem Services (benefits of natural processes for society) and Nature-Based Solutions(NbS). Since 2016, I work as a senior consultant on the development of strategic studies on NbS, Payment for Ecosystem Services, Ecosystem Services assessment and modellingand providing training related to these themes.  I have worked in different work sectors, such as a consulting firm (Montgomey Watson, 2000-2001), within the environmental departament of a large mining company (Vale SA, 2001-2003), and three non-profit nature conservation organizations (Boticário Group Foundation, The Nature Conservancy and Fauna & Flora International, 2003-2016).  I really enjoy developing team solutions, I have a collaborative and adaptive spirit, I am open to the fruitful differences of  opinion, I seek to establish approaches that embrace different points of view. I am used to responding to multiple requests and managing correctly their turnaround time.  I am used to writing proposals and reports on the analyses I carry out, in technical and clear language. I have accumulated extensive professional experience in the modelling of ecosystem services (related to water, soil, carbon, agricultural production, etc.) via the InVEST tool (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (https ://naturalcapitalproject.stanford.edu/software/invest ). I have used the InVEST tool extensively in several strategic analyses, mainly aimed at quantifying and mapping the impact of hypothetical development or conservation scenarios on the supply of ecosystem services.

Athumani Zuberi

Conservationist, Tanzania Wildlife Society

My name is Athumani Zuberi. I am 28 years old. I live in Arusha, Tanzania. My lifelong purpose is to contribute to the Global Effort of Building a Better World for the Coming Generations. I am the Founder and President of Mt. Kilimanjaro Life Foundation and Tanzania Wildlife Society    I looked around in my community and saw people having enormous difficulties to contribute to the development of themselves, their families, and their country. I had a wake up call when I realized that more than 3 billion people on our planet live in poverty which prompted me to found Mt. Kilimanjaro Life Foundation    The social mission of Mt KLF is to teach the community higher consciousness entrepreneurs and leadership skills. As Einstein said: “We cannot solve our current problems from the same consciousness that created them.” To begin, we need a shift in the way we think. The world is nothing but a reflection of our mindsets. Before the outer change can come we need an inner transformation.    This new insight completely changed the way I approached my life goal. We cannot make a lasting contribution feeding the poor by hunting for money in a system where money is purposely created in scarcity by a ruling elite. We need to redevelop the system.    Next I asked myself: "What is the system?" Then I realized that WE are the system. So if we change, the world will change. I had never been that excited. I will now dedicate the rest of my life to awaken the people to the power we have inside. It is time to unite and learn! . . .  ! or maybe I should say unlearn!    My vision is a world that works for ALL people!  Through community economic development projects such as Mt. Kilimanjaro Living Classroom, skill training, mentor-mentee matching, entrepreneurship development, and private public partnership programs help to empower women leadership and youth job opportunities as well as improve social infrastructure within each village, communities, and then subsequently towns and cities. This is how we may uplift each other one person, one village, one community at a time!
