I am an aquatic scientist and marine conservationist with over a decade of dedicated experience in fisheries management, community empowerment, and sustainable marine resource governance. Driven by impact and community-centered approaches, I continue to champion innovative marine solutions that integrate biodiversity protection, economic empowerment, and climate resilience along Kenya’s coastal waters.

I am Mugisha Joshua Gideon, an environmentalist dedicated to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. I work with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) as an Environmental Educator and Conservationist, where I focus on conservation awareness, ecosystem protection, and inspiring responsible stewardship of natural resources. I am also a specialized assessor of Red List ecosystems, carrying out assessments that provide critical insights into ecosystem health, threats, and resilience, supporting evidence-based conservation actions. Beyond my technical expertise, I am passionate about environmental community engagement, working closely with local stakeholders to strengthen conservation participation and nature-based solutions. In addition, I serve as a Member Mobiliser with Green Totos, where I play an active role in uniting and empowering young people to take part in environmental initiatives, conservation campaigns, and climate action programs. 

With a deep love for wildlife and conservation, I strive to tell the stories of the ones who cannot speak for themselves. My passion for conservation and nature drives my work, and I hope to inspire others to see the world differently, to appreciate its beauty, and to protect it for future generations. Through my work, I want to inspire others to appreciate and protect the natural world, encouraging a stronger, more profound connection to the Earth we share. Photography became more than just an artistic outlet for me, It was a way for me to channel my emotions and creativity during a difficult time of healing, and it soon evolved into a mission: to capture and share images that could positively impact the world. I realized I had a unique ability to notice the world’s small, often-overlooked wonders and I fell in love with the idea of using photography to positively impact others.

I joined WildHub to connect with like-minded professionals and learn from a global community dedicated to wildlife conservation. I believe that sharing knowledge, experiences and practical solutions is vital for making a lasting impact on biodiversity and communities. My background is in veterinary medicine, with experience in wildlife research and project coordination. I am particularly interested in wildlife research and conservation, and I look forward to contributing to discussions while expanding my skills and network through this platform.

I am a conservation biologist committed to wildlife conservation through rigorous scientific research and evidence-based approaches to sustainable conservation solutions, bridging the gap between science and decision-making. I hold a Master's degree in Zoology from the University of Pretoria (South Africa). My active involvement in environmental management, planning, and research reflects a strong commitment to sustainable development. I am currently working as a programme support officer for an international NGO (TRAFFIC) focused on ensuring that trade in wild species is legal and sustainable. I provide technical support to two UNDP-GEF 6 projects focused on promoting the legal and sustainable use of medicinal plants and analysing the socio-economic drivers of illegal plant trade in the Northern and Western Cape (South Africa).
