Loretta Andrade

First an Animal & Wildlife Goodwill Ambassador & then a Corporate Professional, N/A

I have always believed that kindness should extend to every living being. My love for animals and nature is not just a passion. It is a part of who I am. I care deeply about Animal Rights, Welfare, and Wildlife Conservation, and I do whatever I can to make this world a gentler and safer place for them. Whether it is raising awareness or supporting meaningful causes, I try to play my part with heart and purpose. Professionally, I have grown as an Executive Assistant and Administrative Specialist with hands-on experience across different sectors and cultures. Over the years, I have worked closely with senior leadership teams in Technology, Business, and Higher Education, always striving to be dependable, professional, and calm under pressure. I have earned an Advanced Certificate in Executive Assistance from BMTG UK Ltd which reflects my dedication to this profession. I have also completed several training programs focused on workplace excellence and strong organizational skills. These skills help me adapt to change and keep things running smoothly in today’s fast-paced world. My work often involves managing international travel, planning both virtual and on-site events, and handling communication, immigration, and hospitality tasks. I approach each of these with care and a personal touch. I also write professionally, preparing internal communications and business correspondence with clarity and precision. This has helped me build a reputation for being trustworthy, effective, and committed to high standards. What truly keeps me going is my willingness to learn and grow. I believe that every day is an opportunity to do better, not just at work, but in how we treat others, especially those who do not have a voice. This journey of compassion, hard work, and lifelong learning is what I carry forward, wherever I go and whatever I do.
SIMON KARIUKI

Executive Committee Member , Walters Greenbelt Initiative

I am a recent graduate from the Wildlife Research and Training Institute, with a passion for conservation and a diverse set of skills honed through hands-on experience.  During my attachment program at Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park and my volunteer work with Reefolution Trust, I have gained invaluable expertise in:  Coral Restoration: Engaging in coral planting, nursery maintenance, and out-planting to rejuvenate marine ecosystems. Marine Debris Cleanups: Organizing and participating in cleanups to protect our oceans. Community Engagement: Facilitating group discussions and outreach programs to foster local involvement in conservation efforts. Data Collection and Entry: Gathering and managing data crucial for research and conservation projects. Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution: Developing strategies to mitigate conflicts between humans and wildlife.  My interests are deeply rooted in:  Wildlife Protection: Advocating for and implementing measures to safeguard endangered species. Environmental Education: Sharing knowledge and raising awareness through my Twitter (X) page. Habitat Restoration: Participating in projects aimed at restoring damaged ecosystems. Community Engagement: Collaborating with local communities to develop sustainable conservation strategies. Policy and Advocacy: Working on policies to support and enhance conservation efforts.  While I currently possess a broad range of skills, I am eager to specialize further and make a significant impact in the conservation community. Being part of the Wild Hub would provide me with the perfect opportunity to refine my expertise and contribute meaningfully to global conservation efforts.  
Ricky Naude

Writer and advisor, wildlife trade and transport systems, Independent

I worked on airport cargo systems before I worked in conservation, and the two have turned out to be the same subject. From 1982 to 1989, I was with the Dade County Aviation Department at Miami International Airport, where I worked on the Miami International Cargo System, one of the first automated cargo clearance systems in the United States built and operated by an airport authority; on the Consolidated Cargo Clearance Center, which brought the federal inspection agencies at MIA under one roof; and on forecasting inspection staffing for passenger processing. I then practiced law for nearly thirty years, largely on commercial instruments and technology licensing, and taught law and business at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for seven years. At Baker McKenzie, I was a partner responsible for professional development for the lawyers in the firm's Miami office. I hold a Juris Doctor and a Master's in International Business. In conservation, I have worked on grant development and research, including for the J.A.C.K. Primate Sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo until 2025, and on illegal wildlife trade and the questions that travel with it: the bushmeat trade, zoonotic disease, and what becomes of confiscated animals. More recently, I have spent two years training and evaluating large language models, which bears directly on what this field is now proposing to build. I look for the seam between two systems built correctly for their own purposes but not jointly owned, and how to specify the fix as something draftable. My current work focuses on the records that international wildlife trade generates, legal and illegal: who creates them, what they carry, and who can act on them. I am interested in biodiversity hotspots in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, and in work that connects conservation outcomes to community-led economic programs and Indigenous interests.

Justin Birkhoff

Vertebrate Conservation Coordinator, Global Center for Species Survival - Indianapolis Zoo

I am an enthusiastic and progressive conservation professional with over 15 years of experience in zoological institutions and conservation non-profits. I currently work as part of a unique partnership between the IUCN SSC and the Indianapolis Zoo as part of the Global Center for Species Survival. Throughout my career, I have focused on the role of zoos as conservation organizations, serving as a bridge between in situ and ex situ conservation. I am a firm supporter of the IUCN’s One Plan Approach to conservation. My range of experience provides a broad foundation to draw from and offers unique insights for problem-solving and partnership engagement. I have experience working for and with domestic and international conservation non-profits. My focus includes supporting the development of conservation skills, utilizing innovative tools, technologies, and approaches to tackle conservation challenges, and emphasizing the contributions of local communities to wildlife conservation. I strongly believe in the power of storytelling as a conservation tool. I am eager to connect with other conservationists and offer them support, skills, and training to aid in their ongoing work.

Mrs Sushma Windsor

Trustee Fundraiser, The Joanna Wildlife Hospital

I was born in Kenya and have lived i the UK for 42 years now. My many years of working with small businesses and running various events to raise the profile of the businesses, has landed me a post for fundraiser Trustee for a UK wildlife Hospital. The founders of the hospital are very seasoned friends of mine and their dedication to saving every wildlife animal bird that comes through their door, is simply inspirational.  Therefore, I want to learn more about writing funding applications and grant applications. I also want to share my experiences of what has worked for us and what has not. Hopefully, we can all become better at doing what we do, through skill sharing.
