Abigail Gepner

Graphic Designer / Communications Professional, Freelance

I’m a designer, communications professional and storyteller passionate about using creativity to inspire meaningful connection with the natural world. With 5+ years of interdisciplinary design experience, I bring ideas to life across mediums—from exhibit panels and interpretive graphics to websites, campaigns, and digital storytelling. My approach is concept-first and strategy-driven: every project starts with why, ensuring design is both meaningful and impactful. I’ve partnered with mission-driven organizations like the ASPCA, cultural institutions like the Museum of the Earth, and brands like Converse, leading projects that span digital, print, and experiential touchpoints. I’ve launched campaigns, animated social motion graphics, edited copy, lead workshops, built responsive websites, and designed everything from annual reports to environmental graphics – all while keeping teams aligned and deadlines on track. Before moving into design full-time, I was in the field: running outdoor education programs, banding saw-whet owls, checking deer track transects at dawn, and pit-tagging salamanders. Those experiences taught me the value of curiosity, patience, and translating complex environmental ideas into experiences people can actually connect with. That same rigor and care now guide every project I take on. I blend digital precision through UI/UX, design systems, motion—with environmental storytelling, exhibit graphics, interpretive panels—to spark wonder, encourage stewardship, and leave lasting impressions. Storytelling has always been my guide, whether leading a kid through the rhythms of a forest or helping an organization share its values with the world. If you’re passionate about using design to make people care—about ideas, nature, or your mission, I’d love to connect. Let’s make something meaningful together.

Hello everyone My name is Nyamni Bless Gur from Cameroon.  Passionate about protecting wildlife and restoring habitats, I work on the ground to monitor and assess great apes population and the threats they face, particularly the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees and the Cross River Gorillas. I'm also passionate about conserving forests, and engaging local communities in our conservation efforts. I believe community based conservation practice is vital for a successful long-term management of these species. 
Justin Birkhoff

Vertebrate Conservation Coordinator, Global Center for Species Survival - Indianapolis Zoo

I am an enthusiastic and progressive conservation professional with over 15 years of experience in zoological institutions and conservation non-profits. I currently work as part of a unique partnership between the IUCN SSC and the Indianapolis Zoo as part of the Global Center for Species Survival. Throughout my career, I have focused on the role of zoos as conservation organizations, serving as a bridge between in situ and ex situ conservation. I am a firm supporter of the IUCN’s One Plan Approach to conservation. My range of experience provides a broad foundation to draw from and offers unique insights for problem-solving and partnership engagement. I have experience working for and with domestic and international conservation non-profits. My focus includes supporting the development of conservation skills, utilizing innovative tools, technologies, and approaches to tackle conservation challenges, and emphasizing the contributions of local communities to wildlife conservation. I strongly believe in the power of storytelling as a conservation tool. I am eager to connect with other conservationists and offer them support, skills, and training to aid in their ongoing work.
" There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments"  Wangari Maathai, Unbowed. Nature and Wildlife have always been a part of me since I can remember, well, since i got curious as to why my father( Environmental Scientist) had a green and yellow pen with the WWF inscription and logo contrary with the WWF I knew( Wrestling). With over a decade of leadership experience in the pharmaceutical sector, I'm excited to apply my skills in strategic communication and stakeholder engagement to conservation efforts. I'm particularly interested in habitats preservation, human-Wildlife conflict mitigation, and species protection. I'm looking to connect with like-minded professionals, learn from their experiences, and contribute to meaningful conservation projects.

Student, University of South Africa

As an Environmental Management Inspector (EMI) , I, among other things, assure the protection of natural resources by properly and soundly applying NEMA, EIA, rules, and principles. Furthermore, I conduct compliance monitoring and enforcement with mandatory regulations, including proactive compliance inspections of game holding facilities for both private and public institutions. I also examine huge corporations and facilities ( Industrial e.t.c ). In addition, I perform reactive inspections. I participate in criminal investigations for environmental offences that are then brought to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for evaluation and, if necessary, prosecution.
