Environmental journalist, science communicator and biodiversity advocate with a background in environmental sciences.
I work across TV, radio and print – but I want to do more than tell the story from the outside. I've been in the field, I know what it feels like and I translate that experience into language and images that move people and drive change.
Previous collaborations include Rewilding Europe (Affric Highlands) and the Zoological Society of Frankfurt. Now seeking an embedded role in conservation communication – as storyteller, media trainer or communications partner within a real project on the ground.
Passionate about rewilding, marine conservation and biodiversity. Ready to act.
Flavia Manieri
WildHub Community Advocates Coordinator|Interdisciplinary Researcher, Uppsala University
I am a passionate communicator and researcher with an extensive background in the environmental humanities and social sciences, dedicated to exploring and fostering connections between people and nature. Based between Sweden and the UK, I work in academia as a researcher and lecturer, teaching courses in environmental law, historical ecology, and disaster risk management. I actively contribute to non-profit organisations promoting conservation and animal welfare. I work with Faunalytics, translating complex research into accessible insights for evidence-based advocacy; write feature articles for Ubuntu Magazine spotlighting conservation initiatives; and serve as Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, driving strategic communications and leading initiatives that connect 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.
An explorer and an aspirant biodiversity conservation researcher. I seek to delve deeper into the study of the human-nature nexus and strive to foster more harmonious coexistence. I have gained brief experience in wildlife conservation at the Creative Conservation Alliance, working with Western Hoolock Gibbons and a few other wild animals. I am also working as an Associate Trainer at Mekateam, a game-based pedagogy where I provide training on basic climate literacy and biodiversity conservation to youth. Moreover, I synthesize and express my understanding of biodiversity and the natural world through my initiative, 'Toru.' Currently, I am undertaking research on Asian Elephants addressing the human-elephant conflict in Bangladesh.
