A large part of my role is keeping track of ongoing projects (e.g. residentials, online workshops, training programmes, to name a few), which can become very complex. This course could be the best insight into how to effectively manage projects year-round, and provide me with suggestions and extensive resources. New teachings could also expand the work BTO Youth does and bring with it new project planning ideas.
WildHub also sounds fantastic! It feels great being a part of an online community and comes with so many benefits and opportunities. Look forward to connecting with many of you!

Hi, my name is Elena and I'm a Master's student of International Nature Conservatin at Göttingen University (Germany) and Lincoln University (New Zealand). Inspired by a deep interest in nature, conservation and environmental issues, I look for many different ways to learn and gain a deeper understanding of the world around me. Travelling, meeting people and sharing opinions allow me to be open and open-minded. My hope is to work in the field of conservation, helping to raise awareness of issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change, while giving the public the tools to actively contribute.
My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
