The Journey of Wildlife Nomads

Why it all began and why I started

Welcome to Wildlife Nomads, a space born out of a deep love for nature and a increasingly strong commitment to wildlife conservation. If you’ve ever felt hopeless in the face of environmental challenges, you’re not alone. I started Wildlife Nomads because I know that feeling all too well—the overwhelming sense of wanting to do something meaningful but not knowing where to start.

About Me:

I was born in Oaxaca, Mexico on 1995. And as many people can relate, I always felt a little bit out of place… Out place at my school, out of place at my city, out of place sometimes with my community, and when the time came, out of place on what career path to choose. I always felt there was something else I needed to discover. Perhaps, this is what lead me to move around so much. I lived in many cities in Mexico, and I have lived in 5 different countries. I have met people from around the world, even people from those countries you once heard about but eventually you forgot they existed.

Since I was a kid I always experienced a sense of awe every time I contemplated wildlife and nature, but the sense of urgency to take action didn’t appear on me until I was an intern in a conservation program for an endemic axolotl species in Mexico. A species that can only be found on a small lagoon next to a highway that has been drying up. After several hours collecting traps, we kept finding garbage, but what troubled me the most was how one of the most how a unique species was ignored by the community and how little information was available. Until that moment I thought that I would become a biologist to explore remote places in search for undiscovered species, but I came to realize that in a few decades there will be none left.

I enrolled in a Bachelor of Biology in Mexico and pursued a Double Masters of Conservation and Environment in Australia. My professional journey took me to work in companies such as Dendra Systems, AirSeed Technologies and the National Trust of Australia. However, the feeling of creating my own project where I could share my perspective and help other people persisted

Sharing Knowledge, Building Community

Wildlife Nomads is here to bridge that gap I felt when I was an Intern. The mission is simple: to share information, showcase the work of incredible photographers, and provide actionable ways for everyone to get involved in conservation and restoration. Whether it’s through travel tips, engaging blogs, quizzes, or in-depth guides, the goal is to create a platform that educates, inspires, and empowers.

Topics will range from responsible wildlife tourism to beautiful conservation stories and sometimes in depth ecology topics. By doing this, I hope to deepen your connection to the natural world and spark your curiosity about the species that call our planet home.

Supporting Conservation on the Ground

But it doesn’t stop at education. Wildlife Nomads is also committed to supporting real-world conservation efforts. We are working to build long-term partnerships with conservation organizations and local communities, focusing on sustainable tourism that benefits both wildlife and the people who live alongside them.

Through this platform, I hope to amplify the voices of those on the frontlines of conservation and share their incredible efforts with you. Every article, photo, and piece of advice is crafted with the intention of showing you that even small actions can have a profound impact.

Why It Matters

Wildlife conservation has never been more urgent. Species are disappearing at alarming rates, and ecosystems are under immense pressure. But there is hope. By raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and inspiring collective action, we can protect the delicate balance of life on Earth.

Wildlife Nomads isn’t just about admiring nature from afar—it’s about rolling up our sleeves and getting involved. It doesn’t matter if you're a seasoned traveler or someone exploring wildlife for the first time, there’s a place for you here.
