I am Ibukunoluwa, I am an insect conservationist and a nature lover. I am a doctoral candidate in Conservation Ecology at Stellenbosch University. My research focuses on insect conservation in urban and agricultural landscapes. Over the years, I noticed the extensive problems that plagued conservation in a developing country, and I was super intrigued and determined to contribute my quota in propagating conservation. This led me to be more active in conservation activities in Nigeria, where I volunteered in major conservation NGOs, embarked upon an educational campaign on conservation on my social media pages and started my PhD.

I'm an early career biologist from Venezuela, focused on apex vertebrate predatos population ecology, behavior ecology, conservation and wildlife management. I've been working for the last five years at the Population Ecology and Genetics Lab (IVIC) on Jaguars and other felids conservation and ecology projects. I became a CPSG member in 2019 and since then i've been participating in trainning and fascilitating conservation workshops.
