Meet The Team
Dr. Sharmini Julita Paramasivam

“As a lifelong wildlife lover, I’m passionate about driving positive change for wildlife and the communities that coexist with them.”
Juliana Nordin

Melissa Lai

“It is possible to coexist with the wildlife around us, and it is vital that people understand this. I have always been in the background watching ANP cultivate and grow ideas to educate and help societies live through our modern day challenges with wildlife. I am glad to join them and look forward to supporting them in the coming days as we reach out to spread awareness. ”
Dr. Gowri Singam
Treasurer
“I have always been interested in conservation work and ANP is giving me that opportunity to learn and get involved with such work. I love nature & hiking too, so any opportunity to be in the forest is a bonus.”
Uvakumar Mosiz

“From the oceans to urban wildlife, it is a unique transition but I do know I can make good changes through either my actions or voice.”
Dr. Moniza Waheed
Committee Member
“Being part of ANP is an opportunity for me to step outside familiar territory and discover new perspectives. It’s a space where diverse backgrounds come together, reminding us that anyone can contribute meaningfully to coexistence.”
Emily Tang
Committee Member
“I love nature and all kinds of monkeys and hope to help on conservation projects for all animals and nature.”
Dr. Lim Lee-Sim

Wong Ee Lynn
