The Biologist will work closely with the Sustainability Team, with guidance and support provided as needed. The primary focus of the role in 2026 is to steward and sustain existing conservation outcomes and programs, rather than to rebuild or significantly expand them.
The role is structured around three core pillars:
Guest Engagement & Environmental Communication
Staff & Community Education
Research & Monitoring
1. Research & Monitoring (Terrestrial Dry Forest Ecosystem)
This pillar builds on existing monitoring frameworks and focuses on continuity and applied improvement, rather than starting from scratch.
· Conduct additional terrestrial biodiversity surveys (e.g. birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects) based on the Biologist’s skills and experience
· Support impact assessment of resort activities on natural ecosystems and recommend mitigation measures.
· Prepare monthly and annual reports to support sustainability reporting
· Continue the well–established population monitoring of Black- shanked Douc Langurs
2 Guest Engagement & Environmental Communication
Guest engagement focuses on knowledge- sharing and awareness- building with an engaged international and local guest community, rather than traditional guiding or tour operations. The Terrestrial Biologist, together with the Sustainability Team, will maintain and enhance guest- facing activities.
Key tasks include:
Translate scientific knowledge into meaningful experiences through ongoing activities (guided hikes, talks, presentations, kids club activities), interpretative materials (signage, posters, touchpoints), and external communications materials (support the Marketing Communications team in gathering social media content, newsletter content, other online media).
3. Staff & Community Education
To ensure responsible behaviour and develop understanding of the native terrestrial ecosystem and threats, the Biologist will
· Support community engagement programs to local communities nearby the resort
· Conduct training sessions for resort staff
