Current and previous works: Currently I’m working for the Future Okavango research project (www.future-okavango.org), employed by the Namibia Nature Foundation as research field assistant (Para ecologist) in Mashare, east Rundu, Namibia.
Type of work I do: I conduct interviews and translate for researchers Rukwangali / English, download data from weather stations, assist in organising community meetings, conservation agriculture projects and assisting the production of participatory awareness films like Wiza wetu! Our forest!, Mema eparu and Liparu lyetu! Our life!. I also assist various researchers in their field work and collect data for the soil scientists, microbiologists, economists, and botanists.
Previous working experiences: Paraecologist in BIOTA Southern Africa: I was an assistant of biologists from 2001 until 2004. From October 2004 until April 2010 I worked as a paraecologist in the BIOTA Southern Africa project (www.biota-africa.org). During this time, I collected insects, monitored plant phenology, downloaded data from automatic weather stations and conducted environmental awareness activities with school children.
