Hannah Kristyl Lopez

Research Assistant: Palawan Turtle Nesting Beach Monitoring and Conservation Project

Hannah initially aspired to a medical career, but as she matured, she recognized the need for environmental protection. Captivated by the ocean's mysteries, she became dedicated to preserving its delicate ecosystems. Now a marine biologist, she explores the ocean and educates the community about marine wildlife.

In 2023, Hannah joined LAMAVE as a Research Assistant for the Northern Palawan Manta Ray Research & Conservation Project and later co-led the same project. She went on to co-lead the Palawan Whale Shark Research & Conservation Project continuing to expand her knowledge of marine life.

Hannah is now part of the Turtle Nesting Beach Monitoring and Conservation Project as a Research Assistant.
