My journey in conservation began with a degree in Geography and Environmental Studies from the University of Dar es Salaam in 2011, followed by a volunteer position at Serengeti National Park in 2012. These experiences set the stage for my career at Tanzania National Parks, where I started as a GIS Officer in 2013. Over time, my role expanded to encompass duties as a warden and ecologist, where I leveraged GIS for mapping, designing dashboards, and managing control rooms. Additionally, I contributed to the development of general management plans for parks like Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, Mahale, and Rubondo, and supported fire management plans across all parks, emphasizing data-driven conservation practices. My commitment to conservation has also led me to introduce innovative technologies, such as drones, and collaborate with programs like the Serengeti Biodiversity Program to monitor key ecological events like the great migration. Beyond my technical work, I am passionate about knowledge sharing and capacity building. I’ve trained rangers, wardens, and ecologists in utilizing spatial-based solutions, using software like R and QGIS to model ecological data for habitat and species conservation. My recent work in habitat suitability analysis, particularly for black rhino populations, underscores the importance of data-driven strategies in conservation. As I continue to expand my expertise in GIS and remote sensing, I am committed to fostering sustainable management of natural landscapes and advocating for the protection of ecosystems through innovation, education, and community-centered projects.
