I run our fundraising scheme and outreach project, Adopt a Dolphin for children and young people.

Whilst running the scheme, I wrote a children's book, The Magic Dolphin and a subsequent colouring-in story book, Dolphin Doodling, both of which are used within schools.  Every month I produce an 8-10 page newsletter, Newsplash which is full of educational content, competitions, national and international marine news, fun features and more.
Pedro Miguel Gomes de Freitas

Conservation Biologist Looking For Opportunities, Unemployed

I am a Conservation Biologist actively looking for a job. Protecting wildlife is what drives me. I dedicated a large portion of my life learning about Conservation Biology and working as a volunteer in order to help non-profit organisations save habitats and threatened species. I've worked in the field and in the office with various people of various backgrounds. I've done surveys, monitoring, risk assessments, public engagement, woodland and grassland management, and GIS analysis and mapping. I'm specialised in birds, however, the work that I've done also involved other groups like amphibians, reptiles, mammals (rodents and bats) and plants. I'm actively looking for an opportunity to use my skills for nature conservation and/or to educate the public about wildlife and its importance.
