Woodland Ecology and Conservation graduate from the University of Cumbria.  Interested in forestry and woodland management and ecology. Studying 'Ornithology' with the Centre of Excellence.  Previous employee of two forestry and arboriculture organisations.  Lover of the outdoors and nature.

Hi,  I'm Anish, a young conservationist with an interest in nature based solutions, human-wildlife interactions and conservation outside protected areas. I am currently a consultant at Legal Atlas, working on projects pertaining to wildlife trafficking, biodiversity conservation and wildlife health. I founded Think Wildlife Foundation. We have a few research projects on human wildlife conflict and wildlife cybercrime. We also have hosted a few plantations in the past in our neighbourhood and plan to expand these works in the future. I also host The Think Wildlife Podcast!

I have recently graduated from the University of Exeter with a BSc in Zoology (with professional placement). My current position is a research assistant investigating the effects of plastics on various bird species at EBD (Estación Biológica de Doñana) in Seville, Spain. Previously I have volunteered with marine turtle conservation projects across various nesting seasons, and carried out an independent research project for my undergraduate degree, assessing the effects of predation on green and loggerhead marine turtles clutch survival.

Recently graduated from the University of the West of England Bristol studying BSc Wildlife Ecology and conservation science. Passionate about wildlife conservation and ecological research. I decided to take this course in order to broaden my knowledge on project management and development. 

Recent graduate of Applied Ecology MSc, with a particular interest in freshwater ecology.

I work as a Research Coordinator for the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo. I've spent the last 17 years working on research and conservation interventions in Central Africa that aim to reduce the hunting and consumption of bushmeat, initially in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, then later in Congo and DRC. I have also previously worked on conservation projects in Indonesia and Nepal. My passion is for primates, particularly great apes. Much of the focus of my work has been on how to improve the effectiveness of existing conservation interventions - particularly livelihood projects and behaviour change initiatives - by drawing on expertise and research from outside conservation. 

Hi all! I became a member of the SOS-UK team in March 2022 as a Project Officer, and more recently I became a biodiversity project coordinator supporting with the delivery of Hedgehog Friendly Campus. The project is a BHPS-funded national biodiversity program for the educational sector, which offers free support to staff and students to make impactful changes for wild hedgehogs. I am also a regular volunteer that fosters underweight hedgehogs for local rescues. I graduated from Leeds Beckett University in 2021 with a BA(Hons) in Architecture. My favourite project mainly focused on integrating conservation and biodiversity plans to develop a positive relationship between the built environment and nature, ultimately diminishing barriers for wildlife in urban areas. I vow to one day help create richer habitats and protect threatened ecosystems through the use of design to create a balanced environment for both humans and wildlife. Outside of work, I love exploring nature trails and fuelling my graphic design flair. I also enjoy reading, gardening, photography and buying more plants than I have room for but that probably won’t stop me from buying them...

I'm currently a MSc Student at the University of Exeter Cornwall studying Conservation & Biodiversity. I studied at the University of Kent for 3 years where I completed my undergraduate degree in Wildlife Conservation. My hobbies include photography, exploring new places, and interior design. I love learning and expanding my knowledge of the conservation world! This is something I've always been passionate about and hope to continue as a career.
