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.

Hello! My name is Ufaq and I'm a development professional based in Pakistan. I'm currently working at the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) - Pakistan as a Senior Officer Programme Development and my role includes developing funding proposals, grant writing, donor tracking, and project management support. I studied Economics and Political Science during my undergraduate degree and did my master's in Development Studies from SOAS University of London. I would love to connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ufaqmanzar/

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.

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.

Hi I'm Jen. I am 52 years old  -I have been passionate about Nature & Wildlife my whole life and was brought up in the UK in Devon and then Norfolk, so always surrounded by the wild landscapes and what they have to offer! I now live in Lancashire by the sea but we have access to the countryside within 5 minutes in every direction.  My week is spent between working for The Wildlife Trust & running my Property Rental Business. The rest of the time is doing our 1/3 acre garden which is totally dedicated to nature and the environment. I Volunteer 2 other days a week with my local Wildlife Trust covering roles from Visitor Engagement and Marketing, to woodland conservation, physically tending the reserves, hedge laying, botany surveys, assisting with Beach School on Sand Dunes and much more. I joined WildHub to connect with likeminded people and to complete courses, gathering helpful resources along the way .  I have begun to participate in various training courses and roles and additionally have become involved in local green woodworking groups, forestry societies and more - it has become an addiction!!! :) Also, I am very passionate about mindfulness, wellbeing, forest bathing, wild swimming and spending as much of my time as possible outdoors.  I'm lucky to have travelled to many countries across the world looking at local wildlife, such as South Africa, Canada, USA, and lots of Europe. Additionally I donate to various Wildlife Conservation Charities both in the UK and abroad.  The environment, sustainability and conservation are the things I want to concentrate on from now on.  

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.
