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.
Hello! I'm Léa and I'm a WildLearning Specialist with WildTeam UK. I help create, design and deliver training courses. I love getting to know all the participants and learning from them :)
Previously, I was working with BirdLife International on forest governance issues and in my previous life I worked in the development sector in the United States. Education-wise, I have studied economic development, international relations as well as tropical forestry in the past.
Hope to catch you in a WildHub social!
I am lucky enough to call Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve my home. My husband is employed with Ezemvelo KZN wildlife as a section ranger and we have lived and worked in the park since 2006. I work from home as a Project coordinator for the Combating wildlife crime unit of Peace Parks Foundation assisting with the management and co-ordination of a number of project in Southern Africa. I have an avid love for wildlife and am a keen birder, trail runner & mountain biker.
I have spent most of my career as a broadcast & sustainability technologist, but have given up my full time job in order to get more involved in conservation and nature recovery in the UK. This includes working on rewilding projects, peatland recovery, and biodiversity development. My reason to take this course is to transition my existing project management skills from the broadcast sector into wildlife and conservation work
I'm a biodiversity consultant working mainly in the corporate space. I work with large companies to help them figure out their nature-related impacts, dependancies, risks and opportunities, then use this information to create biodiversity strategies.
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.
I work for WildTeam UK, helping to deliver training workshops, write conservation best practice manuals and share them as widely as possible. Previously a Writing Fellow working with various conservation organisations across India. Background in research, particularly behavioural ecology. Bird nerd.

Prior to this I have mainly been based in the UK working with various Wildlife Trusts and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. I have worked on projects in the Osa Peninsula (Costa Rica) across multiple taxa for monitoring and conservation.
