Naturalist, traveler, French-Polish herpetologist, interested in biodiversity and the conservation of herpetofauna. I have always been passionate about observing and studying amphibians and reptiles, especially different species of lizards in many countries. This has allowed me to gain experience in scientific research by collaborating with other specialists, attending numerous conferences and writing papers on herpetofauna. I participate in numerous monitoring and conservation programmes. Member of the IUCN SSC Monitor Lizard Specialist Group. Addicted to Natural History. Education and the sharing of knowledge is the key to progress and understanding. "Learning from the past to understand the present and prepare the future."

My interested include habitat restoration, especially in a tropical forest context and endangered tree species. I have worked as a Ranger in Scotland and before that i worked in agriculture. I have an MSc in ecology and conservation.

I am a dedicated anthropologist and wildlife enthusiast holding a Master's degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. After working for many years in global companies in marketing, project- and knowledge management, I decided to dedicate myself to anthropology and conservation which has been my passion since I was very young. My particular research interest is the question of how conservation education can contribute to harmonizing the interests of nature conservation and people, mitigating human-wildlife conflicts and enabling sustainable resource use. During several field researches in Uganda I had the privilege to work with different local organisations and dedicated local conservationists in various regions. Throughout my career, I have worked in many international teams. Beyond my anthropological expertise and field experience in Uganda I offer a strong background in economics as well as profound knowledge in geography and natural sciences. Exploring wildlife conservation, sustainable resource management and conservation education in East Africa, particularly in Uganda through the lens of anthropology I strongly believe that successful conservation strategies require a holistic, interdisciplinary approach prioritizing the perspectives of local communities.. Understanding the cultural dimension of the human-environmental relationship and the integration of local knowledge are key factors for the success of conservation programs, to which anthropology can make an important contribution.

An explorer and an aspirant biodiversity conservation researcher. I seek to delve deeper into the study of the human-nature nexus and strive to foster more harmonious coexistence. I have gained brief experience in wildlife conservation at the Creative Conservation Alliance, working with Western Hoolock Gibbons and a few other wild animals. I am also working as an Associate Trainer at Mekateam, a game-based pedagogy where I provide training on basic climate literacy and biodiversity conservation to youth. Moreover, I synthesize and express my understanding of biodiversity and the natural world through my initiative, 'Toru.' Currently, I am undertaking research on Asian Elephants addressing the human-elephant conflict in Bangladesh.

I'm Liane, and I am a WildLearning Specialist at WildTeam! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all! For the last few years, I've been working in Seychelles, focusing on island and marine conservation efforts, particularly coral restoration and turtle nesting monitoring. If you ask me questions about coral, be prepared for me to get very nerdy about it! Prior to that, I was managing a project in Northern Thailand, where I worked closely with a local community to set up ethical elephant experiences in their village. In my free time, I love running and hiking, and being anywhere in nature. I have also learnt to freedive in the last few years and enjoy doing that when possible. I'm really interested in talking to different people and learning from them and their unique experiences.

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!
