Their organization aims to empower the local community in protecting threatened yet overlooked wildlife. From bats, their program has expanded to tortoises, cuscus, and freshwater species.
Shera is from Palu, a city in Central Sulawesi, where her love for nature has been nurtured as she spent most of her childhood outdoors helping her parents on small farms. Shera received a Bachelor's Degree in Biology at Universitas Indonesia, then an MS Degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, USA. She has ten years of diverse experience working on a wide variety of conservation issues from local to international levels.
