Kayla Zoon (pronouns: she/her) is a wildlife biologist, conservation storyteller and career coach, based in South Africa. Initially as a conservation biologist, Kayla worked across several remote research stations, monitoring wildlife and educating students on how to get involved in wildlife conservation. Throughout her fieldwork, Kayla observed a disconnect between what conservation looked like on the ground and what society thought it should look like – so much so, that when Kayla posted pictures from her fieldwork, people often didn't understand how it benefited wildlife conservation. By sharing her experiences, Kayla discovered her passion for science communication and conservation education. As such, she has since transitioned into wildlife photography, content creation and conservation storytelling. She also operates her own safari lodge on the edge of Kruger National Park and works as a wildlife career coach, helping people on their journey to become wildlife conservationists. #ITSAWILDLIFE #itsawildlife is an online platform supporting you to start and sustain your career with wildlife.

Are you feeling lost in the sea of opportunities or grappling with self-doubt as a conservationist? You're not alone. In the world of conservation, there's often a glamorized portrayal of the work, with images of breath-taking landscapes and exotic wildlife dominating the narrative. But often behind the scenes, the reality can be very different —a reality of frustration, isolation, and the struggle for recognition and validation. Jessie Panazzolo (pronouns: she/her) is a passionate conservationist from Australia, who stumbled across this truth and thought she must be the only person who'd ever experienced this. In a last-ditch effort to find meaning in what felt like an impossible career path, Jessie created the blog Lonely Conservationists to share her experiences. This was met with an overwhelmingly positive response – a community of global conservationists who had felt similar invalidation. Through her blog, Jessie has turned this challenging experience into a source of empowerment and solidarity for conservationists worldwide. In a world where the road to conservation can be a lonely and arduous one, Jessie shares her story and advice to overcome obstacles and create meaningful change for our environment. #ITSAWILDLIFE #itsawildlife is an online platform supporting you to start and sustain your career with wildlife.

Jason Kitting (pronouns: he/him) is a bird banding expert who studies migratory birds and how they interact with the environment. Bird banding is a scientific practice of catching and releasing birds to understand their ages, movements and life histories – one of many that is governed by hands-on experience and mentorship rather than formal education and qualifications. For this reason, it is a wonderful way for people to gain practical experience in wildlife handling and monitoring without the barrier of a tertiary degree. Jason shares his story of how he became fascinated by birds, fell into bird banding and bird research for work and years later, is finishing up his first undergraduate degree.
