Gertruide D. Massoh is a PhD candidate in Zoology at the University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon and an emerging conservation biologist specializing in wildlife ecology and biodiversity conservation. Her research interests focus on carnivore ecology, human-wildlife interactions, environmental education, and community-based conservation approaches. Through her research, she has developed expertise in wildlife monitoring techniques, particularly camera trapping and participatory approaches involving local communities. As a recipient of the Rufford Small Grants, she has led research initiatives investigating the distribution, habitat use, and conservation status of the African wild dog in the Tchabal Mbabo Mountain Range, Adamawa Region, Cameroon. Her projects integrate camera-trapping methods with local knowledge and hunter-based monitoring to improve understanding of threatened species and inform conservation actions. Committed to bridging science and practice, Gertruide contributes to biodiversity research, conservation capacity building, and the development of community-driven strategies for sustainable wildlife management.
