My name is Lakew Melkamu. I am a Wildlife Tourism Manager at Simien Mountains National Park, working under the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority.

My work is deeply rooted in wildlife conservation protecting biodiversity while promoting responsible tourism. I’m passionate about creating a balance between conservation efforts and visitor engagement, ensuring that tourism supports, rather than harms, our protected areas. I also work closely with communities and stakeholders to raise awareness and strengthen conservation practices on the ground.

I’m Natalie Kasera, an executive assistant at Athena and a science graduate whose childhood afternoons tending my grandfather’s goats and cows on our family farm first taught me that every animal, no matter how humble, deserves compassionate care. At the Kenya Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, I spent weekends suturing wounds on stray dogs and leading youth workshops, realizing that healing often begins with small, everyday acts of kindness. That same spirit guided me to WildNow Foundation, where I spearheaded the Pandamiti Initiative, mobilizing and leading a cross‐functional team of 15 volunteers to plant over 250,000 native trees across five Kenyan counties, laying the groundwork toward the 1 million‑tree national goal. Now, alongside my role at Athena, I’m deepening my impact by studying project planning for wildlife conservation. I’m weaving together clinical rigor, community trust, and strategic tools  (GANTT charts, stakeholder mapping, logical frameworks) to build initiatives that safeguard Kenya’s biodiversity and strengthen human–wildlife coexistence. Whether it’s partnering with rangers to deliver emergency wildlife care or co‑creating disease‑prevention workshops in Samburu, my journey is about translating passion into projects that endure. I’m excited to be part of this WildHub community and these courses, and I look forward to connecting with others who share a deep commitment to safeguarding our planet’s biodiversity.

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. 

Hello there! I am a UK-based bat conservation worker, with seven years experience in bat ecology work and bat care. Work at BCT includes working with roost-owners and contacts to prevent the disturbance and destruction of roosts, and improving negative perceptions of bats within the general public. I currently hold position of Special Point of Contact for the Wildlife Crime Project on the BCT Helpline, and aim to greatly expand my knowledge and experience in Wildlife Crime Prevention in this role. In my role as BCT Bat Care Network Co-ordinator, I have worked to improve the welfare of bats in rehabilitation by creating minimum standards for bat care on the network. I am also working on several smaller projects to improve bat welfare in rehabilitation, such as facilitating CPD training for veterinary professionals in bat care and improving and expanding resources available to bat care volunteers. I am on the committee for Avon Bat Group, regularly taking part in trapping and bat box surveys. I have some experience with African bats, having spent 2 weeks in Zimbabwe trapping bats at Imire Rhino Conservation Reserve as part of a research project. I have recently spent 4 weeks in Queensland, AU, volunteering at the Tolga Bat Hospital, which specializes in rehabilitating flying foxes. From this I have a special interest in flying foxes and would love to work promoting their conservation and changing beliefs about them, as well as working to find solutions to the biggest threats facing spectacled flying foxes in Queensland, including barbed wire fencing and tick paralysis. I have joined WildHub to take part in their Project Management course, to improve my working methods as a project co-ordinator in my current role and in potential future roles. I'm excited to join the community, meet some other conservationists and to utilise the resources that WildHub provide!
