RESIDENT TERRESTRIAL BIOLOGIST/ NHÀ SINH HỌC TRÊN CẠN

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.

1. Research & Monitoring

2. Guest Engagement & Environmental Communication

3. Staff & Community Education

· Support impact assessment of resort activities on natural ecosystems and recommend mitigation measures.

· Prepare monthly and annual reports to support sustainability reporting

· Conduct additional terrestrial biodiversity surveys (e.g. birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects) based on the Biologist’s skills and experience

1.2 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.

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).
