I am Eliminatha Ambross, a passionate conservationist and a member of the 2023 Cohort of Women in Conservation Technology in Tanzania.
Since my last update, I have successfully settled into my master’s program, where I am gaining advanced skills in ecological data analysis. One of the most exciting aspects of my studies has been learning to analyze the movement data of animals tracked by GPS collar technology . I clearly understand now how technology can be a game-changer in conservation, helping us better monitor and protect wildlife.
In addition, I have been able to network with leading conservationists and researchers, which has broadened my perspective and inspired innovative ideas for tackling conservation challenges. This scholarship has not only provided me with academic growth but also the confidence to dream bigger for the future of conservation in Africa.
My next steps involve completing my master’s program, conducting impactful research project, and collaborating with global partners to scale conservation solutions. I remain committed to driving positive change in conservation and ensuring a sustainable future for Africa’s ecosystems.
I extend my deepest appreciation to ARM for the seed grant , and to WILDLABS, Flora and Fauna International, and the Grumeti Fund for organizing the Women in Conservation Technology (WICT) program. The WICT program was truly a stepping stone for me, empowering with knowledge, skills, and an invaluable network of conservationists.
