With my colleague, we co-founded The Seaweed Alliance in early 2017 as a platform to raise the profile within the UK of the opportunities of seaweed - economic and environmental opportunities
Flavia Manieri
WildHub Community Advocates Coordinator|Researcher & Lecturer, Uppsala University
I am a passionate communicator and researcher with an extensive background in the environmental humanities and social sciences. My work is driven by a desire to deepen our understanding of the relationships between people and nature and to foster more compassionate, sustainable ways of living alongside other species. Based between Sweden and the UK, I work in academia, teaching courses in environmental law, political and historical ecology, and disaster risk management.
Alongside my academic work, I contribute to non-profit organisations advancing conservation and animal welfare. At Faunalytics, I translate complex research into accessible insights that support evidence-based advocacy. As a feature writer for Ubuntu Magazine, I spotlight conservation initiatives and the people driving change. As Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, I lead strategic communications and initiatives that connect, engage, and empower conservation practitioners worldwide.
When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
