An explorer and an aspirant biodiversity conservation researcher with two years of track record in climate justice advocacy, Just Transition project leadership, and project management. I seek to delve deeper into the study of the human-nature nexus and strive to foster more harmonious coexistence.  I have a brief wildlife conservation experience at Creative Conservation Alliance on Western Hoolock Gibbon and a few other wild animals. Besides, I am undertaking training on snake rescue and other wildlife management from Save Wildlife and Nature (SWAN). I am also working as an Associate Trainer at Mekateam, a game-based pedagogy where I provide trainings on basic climate literacy and biodiversity conservation to youth. Moreover, I synthesize and express my understanding of biodiversity and natural world through my initiative, 'Toru.'  I completed my bachelor's degree from the Department of Development Studies, University of Dhaka. Currently, I am pursuing an MSc degree on GIS in Environment and Development. I aim to produce impactful conservation research on Asian Elephants in 2025 addressing the human-elephant conflict.

Alex Simmons

Maintenance Supervisor, Maylim

I am a gardener in East London maintaining commercial landscapes and aiming to improve the biodiversity. Over the last three years I have been working at Broadgate in the City of London and received multiple awards for Biodiversity and Sustainability and excellent working practices in Horticulture. I have been experimenting with rewilding my allotment in Walthamstow while trying to grow different crops sustainably. By introducing a pond, we welcomed frogs and newts within a year and believe one of which was a Great Crested Newt. I am incredibly passionate about the environment and wildlife and it is my goal to work on a rewilding project in the UK such as Knepp or Heal.
