Hello  Wildhub community, I am excited to join this community, Thank you for accepting me. I am a legal officer working in the conservation sector. I am an advocate for wildlife conservation, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) community engagements  and development. My experience  working  as  a legal officer  and a conservationist and engagement with host communities  around the Park has helped shaped my perception on conservation. It has helped me realise the need to strike a balance between protecting and conserving  biodiversity and the interest of indigenous  communities around the  park. Also the role indigenious knowledge and rural women play in nature conservancy.
