Hi Everyone, My name is Arielle and I'm so excited for this course! I'm a wildlife conservationist but currently build online education programs for students and teachers for an international private school. My conservation work began in college while interning for the Wildlife Medical Center at my university's school of veterinary medicine. I originally went to university to become a large animal veterinarian, to fulfill my childhood dream of working with horses. However, after working with wild animals for three years, I decided to dedicate my life to species conservation and education. Upon graduation, I headed south to work for one of America's largest wildlife rescues and sanctuaries. I started as an Apprentice and worked my way up from there to an Animal Caretaker, and then to the Apprentice Program Supervisor and Training Specialist. I loved my job and my alarm clock was the roaring of a lion and lioness at dawn. I found the education aspect of the job to be the most rewarding. It was exciting to see my apprentices get inspired by what they learned and to see wildlife conservation efforts migrate into different parts of the world once my apprentices graduated from their programs. I have undergone many transitions in my career since then to accommodate all things life. Working as a teacher in schools and online has filled my education "cup", so to speak. But now, I have the opportunity to return to my career in wildlife conservation. I am whole-heartedly ready to start making a global impact one project at a time. I hope to not only gain the tools, resources, and certifications I need to effectively lead teams in wildlife conservation, but also to become a part of this amazing community. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you. This is going to be great! Arielle

Hi! My name is Amy and I have a special interest in birds, and would love to work on a wildlife conservation project in the future. My other interests include travelling, birdwatching, art/illustration, climbing and gaming.

Hello! I am a Research Lead for the Bat Conservation Program at the Toronto Zoo, located in Ontario, Canada. I am currently leading a project studying a maternity colony of Little Brown myotis bats, which is an endangered species in Canada. Although I work with bats at the moment, my background is primarily in avian research. For my Master's, I studied Wood thrushes and how nest concealment may influence nest success in this threatened species. I have also lead a fieldwork team studying the critically endangered Eastern loggerhead shrike for a summer. I volunteer much of my time bird banding and assisting with the nation-wide migration monitoring program. Although my background is primarily in birds, I have a strong passion for wildlife and nature in general!

Vincent holds a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Resources Management, from the University of Calabar, Nigeria and a Master’s degree in Natural Resources Management and Climate Change from Bayero University, Nigeria. Vincent is currently undergoing a graduate course on Endangered Species Management at the Durrell Conservation Academy in Jersey, UK which is affiliated to the university of Kent. In his free time, Vincent can be found taking a walk in nature, watching arsenal matches and spending time with family. I am here to network and connect with people that have passion and interest in the conservation of wildlife and wild places. I also look forward to sharing and getting opportunities and learnings that will aid my growth on conservation for the benefit of wildlife and the local communities I work with

I'm an expert in environmental governance and social forestry, with long experience as a project manager for a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Cameroon. I am particularly interested in policies and social issues relating to the forestry sector. For a long time, I worked on supporting community forests towards sustainable management to improve their livelihood conditions. More recently, I've been working on forest landscape restoraion projects and supporting communal forests management. I have been involved in analysing the political, legal and governance context of projects, the most recently was the Restoration Initiative project in Cameroon. I am also a guest member of the FSC standard development group in the Republic of Cameroon, and am contributing to the process of partially revising the national standard to include specific features to non-timber forest products. My experience in the field of community forest management in Cameroon led me to take part in the training and testing programme for the Economic Viability Tool (EVT) for improving community forest management in Central Africa. I am about to start a postgraduate research on the success factors of community based conservation in the Congo Basin with Laval University. My ambition is to support the interests and needs of communities and collectivities in the context of forest management and specifically conservation, and produice advance knowledge of the social dynamics of the environment and the better ways to envolve communities in biodiversity conservation.
