I’m Gaia, 27 years old, originally from Italy, and currently based in Sint Maarten. While my background is in wildlife conservation, I strongly believe that knowledge and information should be accessible and shared with people of all ages. This is why I focus much of my work on engaging young people in Sint Maarten. I’m also passionate about the power of behavioral change as a tool to address many of today’s environmental challenges. I’m here to expand my network, gain new insights, and draw inspiration from the community!

Particularly interested in wildlife disturbance, cetaceans, pinnipeds and beach-nesting bird species. Currently managing a scientific trial project of nest protections for beach-nesting bird species in the UK.

Turtle Up is my passion project. I am a professor in leadership and work on sea turtle conversation with local and international experts in Ghana. I am passionate about sustainable practices that help people and the planet. I joined WildHub to meet and learn from like minded colleagues and friends, get some feedback and some tips as well.  At Turtle Up we are always seeking collaborators and partners. Together we are stronger! Turtle Up's mission is to sustainably preserve and conserve Ghana’s sea turtles by utilizing a community-based approach. Our vision is a world where marine wildlife and people in coastal communities are thriving together.

I have been working as a self-employed artist and musician since 2010 and am now studying marine biology with the aim of moving into the industry since the oceans and conservation have been a life-long passion.   I found out about WildHub through the webinar on starting a conservation organisation. I am hoping to learn more from my time here and to meet new people. Marine Biology I am currently studying for a Diploma in marine biology and have just gained a PGCert qualification in GIS.  I'm getting involved in voluntary work to gain experience, knowledge, practical skills and to make a difference where I can. Through my music and art work I also have experience in social media, communications and have been involved in numerous local festivals and organising community and charity events.

I’m an ecologist, herpetologist, and lifelong conservationist with a deep-rooted passion for the natural world. My fascination for reptiles, especially snakes and lizards, has helped to shape my career to date. I have been fortunate to work as Project Manager on the Snakes in the Heather project to help conserve reptiles in the lowland heath habitats of southern England and to gain field experience abroad, such as working as a Field Assistant on the Pygmy Blue-tongue Skink Recovery Program in Australia. I have a varied work history that has allowed me to build a unique skillset, including customer service as well as conservation-based skills such as report and grant writing, project management, fieldwork, research, GIS (using ESRI ArcGIS and Q-GIS platforms), and stakeholder engagement. I enjoy training, mentoring, and inspiring like-minded people, sharing knowledge, and delivering impactful conservation projects. I am known for my enthusiasm and conscientiousness, and being analytical and organised. I take pride in achieving high standards in my work. I enjoy training, mentoring and inspiring likeminded people, sharing knowledge, and working to deliver conservation projects with impact. I am known for my enthusiasm and conscientiousness, as well as being analytical and organised. I strive to and take pride in achieving high standards in my work. I currently work as an ecological consultant alongside taking intentional time away from work to reflect on my career journey so far. This space has given me a unique opportunity to redefine my “vision” – my goals, values, and life path. As I reach the midpoint of my career, I am taking time and care to consider how I can have the greatest impact for myself, others, and the planet over the next 20+ years. One of my latest personal projects is ‘wilding’ my garden, which has been both challenging and rewarding. Outside of work, I have played the drums for 30 years, enjoy mountain biking, and I am an avid traveller. My adventures often combine my love for reptiles with exploring the natural world and connecting with conservation efforts worldwide. With a creative streak, I blend my artistic skills and lateral thinking to enhance conservation resources. I joined WildHub to support my career and project work in the conservation sector and I am currently undertaking WildTeam training with the goal of becoming a certified “Conservation Trainer.” This experience has offered a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge and connect with conservationists from around the world.
