My primary focus growing up was the arts and I hold a BA in Fine Art.
Nature however has always played a key role in my day to day and even when creating art work it always derives a theme from the natural world around us whether that be political or just observational.
I currently hole a position within a school as a technician and have vast knowledge of education with various age groups.
I am very interested in making a career swap that will allow me to combine my strengths within the arts, various skills gained from working within in a variety of educational platforms and passion for nature.
Training and opportunities of advancement are very welcome!

I am a Primatologist specialized in captive and wild nonhuman primate sociobiology, with a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. I have 17 years of experience in development project management including 5 in Biodiversity Conservation, with experience in East and Central Africa, and the Middle East. I currently live in Ouesso, a city in northern Congo where for the past 2 years I have been coordinating a program called Sustainable Wildlife Management - SWM. SWM is about creating the conditions for rural communities in northern Congo to manage wildlife resources themselves, taking ownership and exploiting them in a sustainable way. As part of the SWM Program, I am responsible for aspects related to the development of alternative activities to hunting (livestock farming), development of social marketing campaigns for more sustainable consumption of animal protein, and mitigation of risk of zoonoses. I therefore often find myself having to involve stakeholders...
I'm an expert in environmental governance and social forestry, with long experience as a project manager for a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Cameroon. I am particularly interested in policies and social issues relating to the forestry sector. For a long time, I worked on supporting community forests towards sustainable management to improve their livelihood conditions. More recently, I've been working on forest landscape restoraion projects and supporting communal forests management. I have been involved in analysing the political, legal and governance context of projects, the most recently was the Restoration Initiative project in Cameroon. I am also a guest member of the FSC standard development group in the Republic of Cameroon, and am contributing to the process of partially revising the national standard to include specific features to non-timber forest products. My experience in the field of community forest management in Cameroon led me to take part in the training and testing programme for the Economic Viability Tool (EVT) for improving community forest management in Central Africa. I am about to start a postgraduate research on the success factors of community based conservation in the Congo Basin with Laval University.
My ambition is to support the interests and needs of communities and collectivities in the context of forest management and specifically conservation, and produice advance knowledge of the social dynamics of the environment and the better ways to envolve communities in biodiversity conservation.
I am HOUNMAVO Amétépé in doctoral thesis in Biodiversity. I am in co-direction at the University of Lome (Togo) and the Institute of Systematics, Evolution and Biodiversity of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris (France). I have a Master's degree in Ecology and Wildlife Resources Management and a DU from Senghor University in Protected Areas Management focusing on environmental crime. I work on specific missions for the NGO AGBOZEGUE which works in the conservation of nature. I work in the field, from ethnozological surveys and awareness campaigns for the preservation of ecosystems, through the inventory and ecological monitoring of different zoological groups to the installation of camera traps.
I am an expert in tourism and environmental conservation, with a Masters in Wildlife Conservation. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Environmental Management and Governance at the University of Nairobi. My current research project is on human-lion conflict. I believe that successful integration of conservation, tourism, and livestock keeping is only possible if each form of land use is given equal attention. Governance arrangements that are based on the local community are likely to be more fruitful in achieving win-win outcomes. I am a lecturer of sustainable tourism and environmental conservation at Karatina University. My greatest passion is to see sustainable development for economies that are based on natural resources. I mobilize people to invest and undertake activities that provide solutions to everyday challenges like energy-saving appliances while at the same time helping combat climate change and global warming in the long term.
I am excited to have joined the Wild Hub platform as it provides a platform for me to engage with like-minded individuals who are passionate about environmental conservation. As a final year student at African Leadership University, majoring in Global Challenges with a focus on environmental conservation, I am committed to ensuring the protection of endangered plant species and the promotion of sustainable conservation practices.
My interest in environmental conservation has led me to work on various research projects, including assessing the impacts of exotic plant species on the ecology of one of the National Parks in Rwanda. Through this project, I was able to gain insights into the complexities involved in managing invasive species and the need for a sustainable approach to conservation.
I also had the privilege of working on pre-impact assessments for the expansion of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. This experience allowed me to understand the importance of incorporating the perspectives of local communities in conservation initiatives.
Recently, I worked on a project with the Capitals Coalition on sustainable and impact analysis, where I was involved in a case study. This experience enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of the need to integrate economic, social, and environmental considerations in conservation efforts.
Additionally, I had the opportunity to work with the National Geographic Society and he Nature Conservancy on a freshwater and community conservation externship. This experience allowed me to gain valuable insights into the complexities of freshwater management and the importance of engaging with local communities in conservation efforts.
I not so recently obtained my Master’s in Wildlife Management Engineering and have entered the workforce in an entry level position. Currently working as an environmental education intern for the only national zoological garden in South Africa.

I look forward to gaining and building great partnerships in this community.
