I am currently Assistant Project Officer in the Stakeholder Engagement Team, in Community and Environmental Services at Norfolk County Council, where I am working on the Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Norfolk, in England,  I am also supporting a WWF funded Creative Engagement Community Nature Project. For the past fourteen years I have worked in my spare time, with my partner, creating a five acre wildlife habitat at our home in Norfolk, in the midst of intensively farmed land. We now have barn owls, little owls, badgers, hare, water vole, cuckoos, weasels, yellow hammer and so much more regularly on our land, and some have made permanent homes here. I am a career switcher, having worked in television production for most of my life, for many years at a charity which engaged with the Deaf community, commissioning programmes in British Sign Language. Two years ago I completed the Wild Team course on project management which helped me to start on my new career path, along with volunteering for the RSPB and a local nature reserve. 

Hello, I'm 25 and currently based in Worcestershire, UK. I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2019 with a BSc in Wildlife Conservation. 

I am a marine conservationist / biologist whose passion for the ocean has been since I was young. I have been involved in tagging and releasing  juvenile great whites and rescued stranded sea lions. Now, I am building a Young Ambassadors Program for individuals who are looking to create their own path for marine conservation. 

I’m a field-based conservationist and institutional founder working at the intersection of ecology, governance, and knowledge systems in the Philippines. For over 15 years, my work has involved biodiversity research, trail and landscape exploration, community-integrated conservation, and long-term engagement with Indigenous Peoples and local governments. I’ve worked on species rediscovery, reforestation and carbon forestry, conservation field surveys, and governance-oriented mountain initiatives across Luzon and Mindoro. Rather than focusing on single projects or short funding cycles, my work centers on a broader question: how societies recognize, translate, and govern ecological reality in biodiversity-rich but institutionally fragmented contexts. In 2024, I co-founded the Sierra Madre Conservation Society (SierraPH), where I initiated four interlinked programs: • Found Nation, a counter-archive for forgotten and long-undocumented species • The Sierra Madre Trail Program, a governance-first framework for ethical movement through mountains • SierraCon, a knowledge summit connecting science, society, and climate resilience • The League of Indigenous Peoples Innovators (LIPI), an institutional incubation platform for Indigenous-led governance innovation Increasingly, my work explores how cultural memory, art, and ethics shape which species are seen, remembered, or forgotten, and how these forces influence conservation priorities and public understanding. Across these efforts, my focus is on building durable structures that allow ecological knowledge, Indigenous authority, and conservation practice to endure beyond individual projects, personalities, or funding cycles.

I am a passionate conservationist with an undergraduate background in botany and zoology and currently pursuing an MSc in Primate Conservation. I have much interest in human-wildlife conflicts and primates conservation, particularly nocturnal primates and I am the district vermin control officer of Kalangala district in Uganda (East Africa). I also worked as a Biodiversity officer at the Youth Association for Rural Development (YARD) where I was responsible for conservation capacity building and indigenous tree growing.  

I join the WildHub community to participate in the PMWC May-June 2022 online training course :)  I have an Environmental Management degree, and I am currently working as a management assistant in the Wildlife Conservation Area at the "Ecoparque Interactivo of the City of Buenos Aires", a public institution whose main mission is to contribute to the conservation of Argentina's native biodiversity carrying out threatened species conservation programs.

I am an enthusiastic conservation scientist with keen research interest in disturbance ecology, Wildlife trade, Human-Wildlife conflict, Ecosystem Restoration, environmental toxicology, marine litter, watershed, bioremediation and habitat protection. I'm focused on IUCN redlist species. I am an active, research-focused, Stable and goal oriented young chap with over two years of independent and collaborative internships and research with a very strong academic and research background in Zoology and Environmental Biology and a major focus on disturbance ecology and and ecosystem performance. I have grown my passion from supporting conservation activities in the University to also taking conservation education to local schools, youths, Women and stakeholders in supporting/enclave communities of the Cross River National Park, Nigeria. I am currently taking a drastic tilt in research towards assessing the impact of human interference with ecosystem performance while studying the indices that could have permeated this disruption. In the last one year, I have supported conservation education, local livelihood intervention and committed to studying the landscape of Cross River National Park, Ndebiji hills and Afi wildlife sanctuary, Nigeria https://www.linkedin.com/in/julius-agabi-512b87302.

Indoor or outdoor, as long as I'm working for nature I'm happy! I currently work as a Programs Coordinator with The Thin Green Line Foundation, drawing on my past experiences working in the field to help Rangers globally. Our work focusses on providing Training, Equipment, Emergency Aid and Networking Opportunities for the people working on the frontlines of conservation. As a former Ranger myself, I adore being outside and connecting others with nature. Personally, I have interests in community development and capacity building, the interface between conservation science and environmental policy, and rewilding! I'm a keen birder and hill-walker, currently exploring Victoria, Australia.

Have been involved in a variety of projects - Javan Silvery Gibbon, Tigers in India, and more recently water vole conservation in the UK. Currently run a landscape wide wetland restoration project in West Sussex on the south coast of the UK with water voles in mind but would love to just throw in a couple of European beavers and my job would be done!

I am an active invertebrate recorder in London’s green spaces, with a particular interest in the ecologies of urban insects. I've worked as FSC BioLinks Project Officer and as a freelance field surveyor on behalf of the Forestry Commission; researched ant ecology and evolution, and taught entomology field techniques whilst employed as a Research Assistant at Queen Mary University of London. With a keen interest in ecology and entomology, I studied an MSc in Ecology and Evolution from Queen Mary and a BSc in Biodiversity and Conservation from Birkbeck College, University of London. Previously, I volunteered with the Lepidoptera department and Soil Biodiversity Group at the Natural History Museum, and on the Thorn to Orchid and Water for Wildlife projects with the London Wildlife Trust.
