Seeking to gain skills and connections while seeking my dream job (Fellowship Manager for a wildlife conservation organization)!

I'm a Tropical Biologist from Costa Rica, passionate for wildlife, but always concerned about the different threats that it faces.  Throughout my professional career, I have participated in wildlife monitoring projects and habitat assessments, particularly with mammals. Additionally, I have developed expertise in environmental education, as I believe it is key to biodiversity conservation. Currently, I work as a field officer for the People Program at the non-governmental organization Macaw Recovery Network, where we work towards a future in which macaws and their ecosystems thrive and coexist with local communities. Through the People Program, we aim to help communities learn to coexist with macaws and other species through environmental education. Previously, I volunteered with the non-governmental organization Gente y Fauna in its Team Jaguar program, which seeks solutions to human-wildlife conflict issues between humans and felines. This experience helped me understand the importance of working with communities to achieve our conservation goals.

I have 8 years working experience in Sustainable Forestry, Fisheries, Wildlife Management and general Community based natural resources management (CBNRM) working in the North Luangwa National Park of Zambia. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife management and Biology and a Master’s degree in Climate Change and sustainable development. Currently, I am supporting the WeForest Zambia team in the implementation of the Luangwa livelihoods and conservation Activity project based in Mpika, Muchinga Province. I am based in the North Luangwa National Park Landscape, North Eastern Zambia.

A performance driven and dynamic professional with a total of five years’ experience in conservation of forest and marine ecosystems, project management, livelihoods, biodiversity data publishing and sustainable community development projects. A proven leader with well-honed competencies in delivering the required tasks and forging productive synergies with colleagues from cross-cultural backgrounds. When I am not working, I like to be in touch with nature either by the beach or in the forest. I also enjoy cooking.

Hello everyone, my name is Petra, a recent graduate in wildlife management and tourism studies (BSc honours) with the University of Namibia. Throughout my studies I delved into fascinating world of wildlife and its conservation, while also gaining insights into the dynamic field of tourism. I am hopping and striving to further my studies in the field of wildlife forensics if a post graduate opportunity arises.  In addition to wanting to pursue my studies, I am eager to jumpstart my career and contribute to conservation efforts, whether it be through research, community engagement, sustainable tourism practices or entrepreneurship. One of my favourite aspects of conservation is volunteering, I enjoy participating in workshops and training programs that allow me to continuously learn and explore new routes within this field. For the past two years I have had the privilege of volunteering in several different conservation-oriented projects.  I am based in Namibia, a country known for its rich wildlife and diverse ecosystems. I am fortunate to have access to such an incredible environment, and it has fuelled my desire to actively take part in its conservation. in addition to that, I live in an area surrounded by national parks and conservancies, which serves as a constant reminder of the incredible biodiversity we must protect. The abundance of natural beauty has truly ignited my passion for conservation, as I witness firsthand the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems. For instance, I have been an active member of a communal conservancy, whereby natural resources have been used to improve the livelihood of the communities.  In addition, I am currently working as a research assistant in Applied ethnography, transforming the lives of school dropouts’ youth, through engaging them in ethnomusicological activities and empowering them in natural recourse management. Furthermore, I have been involved in research on value addition of natural resources. Outside of my work and studies, I have a great love for visiting new places & mostly camping, being immersed in nature, sleeping under the stars, and waking up to sounds of wildlife. By joining the wild hub, I hope to establish connections with professionals in the conservation field. I am eager to learn from their experiences, expand my network, and find potential mentors who can guide me in my career journey. I am equally keen to share my experiences with other members of wild hub community. Thank you.

I have a deep passion for nature and wildlife, and I have always felt connected to nature. After achieving my degree in biological sciences at the university of Buenos Aires (Argentina), I applied for a graduate position at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council Argentina (CONICET), in collaboration with the National University of Jujuy (northwestern Argentina), where I study mammals using camera trapping. 

My name is Victoria and I am programme manager for the Biodiversity Challenge Funds, a UK government grant scheme working worldwide for people and nature: https://www.biodiversitychallengefunds.org.uk/

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!

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. 

Since July 2025, I have been serving as the Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, where I coordinate initiatives to engage, support, and empower our community advocates in advancing WH’s mission. Beyond WildHub, I wear a few different hats. I work as a researcher and lecturer in Sweden, teaching courses on environmental law, political and historical ecology, and disaster management. I also mentor undergraduate and postgraduate students, collaborate with faculty members, and contribute to ongoing research projects. I’m passionate about giving back through volunteer work. I support a few conservation and animal welfare organisations with research and advocacy to help drive positive change. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.

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.
