I am a Chartered Geographer with a background in GIS and biogeography, currently working as a product/project manager in a 'nature tech' organisation which is focused on mobilising investment into nature restoration projects.
I help run a UK charity that builds the capacity of conservationists to plan, implement, monitor, and report on their work. I also have a fair bit of experience in tiger and sea turtle conservation.
I am a PhD student studying Conservation Ethics, focusing on ethical analysis of Human-Wildlife Conflicts involving large carnivores such as wolves (Canis lupus) and brown bears (Ursus arctos).
I'm Liane, and I am a WildLearning Specialist at WildTeam! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
For the last few years, I've been working in Seychelles, focusing on island and marine conservation efforts, particularly coral restoration and turtle nesting monitoring. If you ask me questions about coral, be prepared for me to get very nerdy about it! Prior to that, I was managing a project in Northern Thailand, where I worked closely with a local community to set up ethical elephant experiences in their village.
In my free time, I love running and hiking, and being anywhere in nature. I have also learnt to freedive in the last few years and enjoy doing that when possible. I'm really interested in talking to different people and learning from them and their unique experiences.
