Ednah Nyambu was born and raised in Kenya, studying Natural Resources Management and majoring in wildlife conservation and management. She is currently working for Nature Kenya in the Saving the Taita Apalis program, protecting a critically endangered bird species, the Taita Apalis, endemic to the Taita Hills. Taita is her home. Her work involves routine site monitoring and engaging local communities in forest conservation. Through the creation of awareness, she hopes to change the local communities attitudes to be pro-conservation and for them to take part in more sustainable farming practices.
