Ecological Engineer, specialized in Protected Areas Management.
Hi. My name is Erin. I am interested in species preservation, anthrozoology, and compassionate conservation. I am would like to write grants for animal welfare conservation organizations, so I joined Wildhub for the grant writing course. I have a background in conservation biology but have not worked in the field for some time now. I am looking to get back into it.

I have a MSc in Zoo Conservation Biology with Distinction from the University of Plymouth, linked with Paignton Zoo Environmental Park; the Wild Planet Trust. During my MSc, WildTeam gave a presentation on conservation planning, further teaching me of the fundamental importance of planning for a successful conservation project.
In the future, I would like to complete WildTeam's Project Management for Wildlife Conservation training so I can plan and manage such projects as the one I am currently working on.

Best Management Practice Specialist for Orangutan Conservation, Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation
I am an environmental economist so most of my professional life I worked on projects that related to "human habitats". But since I have been a child I have been fascinated and have a special way of connecting with animals. So working across worlds and finding effective ways to protect ecosystems is my passion. It is a privilege for me to exchange and connect with people who have been involved all their lives in conservation.
I work chiefly in the Caribbean, and chiefly on Hispaniola, on conservation planning and direct action to conserve forests and birds. In Haiti, I direct a forest conservation program that is protecting and restoring some of the last broadleaf forest in SE Department. I am especially interested in adaptive management, results-based conservation planning (e.g. Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation) and conservation leadership, to continually improve our conservation practice, participation, and impact.
