Hi everyone, I’m Fiona – I’m based in Wales and currently work in digital learning for the NHS. My background is in project management across quite a mix of sectors, including healthcare, education, events, and heritage. Over time, I’ve felt a growing pull towards nature and conservation, and I’ve reached a point where I want my day-to-day work to align more closely with those values. I’m here to learn how I can make that shift and to connect with others on a similar path. Looking forward to getting to know you all! 4o

Mr. Paudel currently serves as a senior program manager at Bird Conservation Nepal. He has over fourteen years of experience in bird and biodiversity conservation, fundraising, project planning and implementation, and engaging with local communities to safeguard threatened bird species.

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.

I am a passionate communicator and researcher with an extensive background in the environmental humanities and social sciences, dedicated to exploring and fostering connections between people and nature. Based between Sweden and the UK, I work in academia as a researcher and lecturer, teaching courses in environmental law, historical ecology, and disaster risk management. I actively contribute to non-profit organisations promoting conservation and animal welfare. I work with Faunalytics, translating complex research into accessible insights for evidence-based advocacy; write feature articles for Ubuntu Magazine spotlighting conservation initiatives; and serve as Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, driving strategic communications and leading initiatives that connect and empower conservation practitioners worldwide. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
