Kahlia joined LLF in August 2022. She has experience in nature conservation in the public and nonprofit sector and has lived and worked in Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and Honduras. She previously worked for the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin on their urban wildlife monitoring programs, for a community-based conservation NGO in Honduras on mangrove reforestation and sustainable livelihoods, and as an evolutionary biology research assistant at the University of Manitoba, Canada.

Kahlia holds a dual Master of Science degree in International Nature Conservation with a focus on protected area management from Georg-August University, Germany, and Lincoln University, New Zealand.

“I believe that LLF presents a great opportunity for nature conservation worldwide, not only in terms of the long-term protection of biodiversity, but also the potential to positively impact the communities that are part of the legacy landscapes. I look forward to putting my energy and passion for nature conservation into the success of this project.”
