Flavia Manieri
WildHub Community Advocates Coordinator|Interdisciplinary Researcher, Uppsala University
Since July 2025, I have been serving as the Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, where I coordinate initiatives to engage, support, and empower our community advocates in advancing WH’s mission.
Beyond WildHub, I wear a few different hats. I work as a researcher and lecturer in Sweden, teaching courses on environmental law, political and historical ecology, and disaster risk management. I also mentor undergraduate and postgraduate students, collaborate with faculty members, and contribute to ongoing research projects.
I’m passionate about giving back through volunteer work. I support a few conservation and animal welfare organisations with research and advocacy to help drive positive change. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
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.
I am a bats researcher based in Kenya expert in collecting, analysing and reporting data regarding conservation.
I am a statistical ecologist and a wildlife biologist currently working with communities for community conservation. Most of my job requires identifying and fostering partnerships and collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including local communities, academic institutions, and international organizations. I am interested in networking with conservation professionals and experts to learn from them, also get to know if there are any funding and learning opportunities for our team and our organization.
I’m Asmita Ranapaheli, a passionate turtle researcher with a Master’s degree in Ecology and Environment from Tribhuvan University. My work is driven by a belief that conservation thrives on collaboration. By uniting diverse voices and expertise, we can create innovative, sustainable solutions to protect habitats, empower communities, and safeguard endangered species.
In addition to my research, I run Respite, a YouTube channel where I bring the wonders of wildlife, plants, and zoology to a wider audience. Through captivating and accessible content, I aim to inspire curiosity, foster a deeper connection with nature, and highlight the urgent need for biodiversity conservation in an increasingly fragile world.
