Hi, my name is Elena and I'm a Master's student of International Nature Conservatin at Göttingen University (Germany) and Lincoln University (New Zealand). Inspired by a deep interest in nature, conservation and environmental issues, I look for many different ways to learn and gain a deeper understanding of the world around me. Travelling, meeting people and sharing opinions allow me to be open and open-minded. My hope is to work in the field of conservation, helping to raise awareness of issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change, while giving the public the tools to actively contribute.
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.
I work as a Field Ecologist with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, a non-profit with the goal of effectively conserving Australia's native species and their habitats. I live and work at Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, a 131,000+ha nature reserve on Badimia Country in semi-arid south-west Western Australia. Here I help conduct biodiversity monitoring, contribute to applied ecological research and assist with the reintroduction of locally extinct species. Recently, my work has focused on reintroducing the Chuditch (AKA Western Quoll), a spotty marsupial predator, to the sanctuary. My work is primarily in the conservation of threatened mammals, but I also have a keen interest in bird conservation and ecology. Outside my work I enjoy running, birdwatching, baking, wildlife photography, and walks in nature.
I'm Osben Awinkugri. I'm happy to be part of this great family and looking forward to learning, expanding my networks and connecting with people as I become a catalyst for growth.
I volunteered for two years as a Project Officer in a community-led biodiversity conservation and livelihood empowerment project in communities within the Bui national park in Ghana. The activities included conservation advocacy and capacity building for small scale farmers.
I love reading motivational books, jogging in the morning and always curious to learn new things when given the opportunity.
