Biography: Anniqa has been working in conservation groups for more than 8 years.  She started her career in conservation with an education position. She is experienced in intertidal conservation, citizen science and public engagement, also the formal and informal education initiatives by leading conservation school programs for high school students and teachers.  Besides these, she had participated in an international youth volunteer body for 7 years; given chances to serve the community and meet people from different countries with different backgrounds.

What interests you about the Blue Pioneers Program?: The training on conservation entrepreneur project design and management could help me develop the hard and soft skills in my career.  Also I would love to meet different experts in the field to learn from each other, especially the Chinese fellows to learn from the trend/strategy in marine conservation in China, where there is a huge demand and potential for more initiatives.
