I am a recent graduate from the Wildlife Research and Training Institute, with a passion for conservation and a diverse set of skills honed through hands-on experience.
During my attachment program at Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park and my volunteer work with Reefolution Trust, I have gained invaluable expertise in:
Coral Restoration: Engaging in coral planting, nursery maintenance, and out-planting to rejuvenate marine ecosystems.
Marine Debris Cleanups: Organizing and participating in cleanups to protect our oceans.
Community Engagement: Facilitating group discussions and outreach programs to foster local involvement in conservation efforts.
Data Collection and Entry: Gathering and managing data crucial for research and conservation projects.
Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution: Developing strategies to mitigate conflicts between humans and wildlife.
My interests are deeply rooted in:
Wildlife Protection: Advocating for and implementing measures to safeguard endangered species.
Environmental Education: Sharing knowledge and raising awareness through my Twitter (X) page.
Habitat Restoration: Participating in projects aimed at restoring damaged ecosystems.
Community Engagement: Collaborating with local communities to develop sustainable conservation strategies.
Policy and Advocacy: Working on policies to support and enhance conservation efforts.
While I currently possess a broad range of skills, I am eager to specialize further and make a significant impact in the conservation community. Being part of the Wild Hub would provide me with the perfect opportunity to refine my expertise and contribute meaningfully to global conservation efforts.
