I am an early career marine conservation biologist interested in conserving swallow water habitats and threatened species. I am currently working on several conservation projects including studying elasmobranch ecological needs and coral bleaching and resilience in a Protected area in Kenya.
I am Arefine. I am an anchor & reciter. In between my studies in zoology, I am involved in extra curricular activities. I focus on field studies since my undergraduate studies. Field study alone and observing became my addiction. Photography was also added to this addiction. Although watching nature, observing animals is my passion, the thought of working on a specific subject did not come to my mind. After that, I started working at the marginal level with snakebite patients during the Corona period. Then I chose calligraphy as a means of awareness to reach people quickly. Although I did not give priority to online then, I later built my organization called Kundali Foundation. Under the banner of this organization, i started the work of conveying the message of awareness to people called 'Be Aware Of Snake'. I was able to deliver my message to 495 upazilas of Bangladesh. The war is still going on because the fear of snakes has not died down among people.
I hold a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Community Development from Moi University. I have a long history of working with the community and engaging them with alternative livelihoods projects that are echo friendly and sustainable. My interest is just working with the communities in finding solutions in the ever-changing environment.
As Dr. Calista, I've practiced veterinary care for over a decade, focusing on small animals. My passion for pangolin conservation spans five years, where I've dedicated myself to safeguarding these gentle creatures. At Saintmarks Animal Rescue Foundation, I merge my expertise in veterinary medicine with wildlife protection. My journey, from healing paws to defending pangolins, is a testament to our duty to preserve nature's wonders.
I am a Malawian, a graduate from the University of Malawi, a passionate young climate activist, a founder and executive director of a nascent environmental leadership organization, Resilient-Gen. I have profound experience in community mobilization, community engagement not to mention resource mobilization. I love all things green!!
I am currently a doctoral student in the LMI SHUNT International Mixed Laboratory program on the sustainability of the hunting system in the Dahomey Gap (Benin). This is part of the collaboration between the Research Institute for Development (IRD) and the Laboratory of Applied Ecology (LEA) of the University of Abomey-Calavi (UAC). I am currently doing my research on the conservation of the habitats of this hunting system.
I am a research assistant at the Applied Ecology Laboratory at the University of Abomey-Calavi. Thus, from 2022 to 2023, I was a facilitator in a project to restore sacred forests in South Benin.
