WWCT Team

WWCT TEAM

The WWCT team is a dynamic group made up of its always constant founding members who are the Trust's primary researchers, Field Managers and Research Assistants, Outreach and Awareness Officers, Conservation Communications Officers, and Wildlife Health Officer. Additionally, depending on ongoing projects, field locations and seasons, other research assistants make up the WWCT Team. Added to this mix are students and volunteers whose numbers vary at any given time period within the year.  When working within Protected Areas Wildlife Department field staff join our field teams as needed. We are a small but dedicated team that believes in remaining thus so as to maximize our impact on the ground and reduce overhead costs so as to ensure that our limited and vital funds are utilized primarily for our research for conservation efforts.
