Movement ecology • Community-led monitoring • Applied conservation
Wildlife conservation is not just about keeping species on the landscape — it’s about ensuring they have the space and conditions to thrive. I believe conservation succeeds when it supports both animals and the people who share the land with them. By pairing science with community priorities and lived experience, I work toward solutions that protect wildlife, landscapes, respect local communities, and lead to real decisions on the ground.
