Biography

As part of WWT’s Conservation Evidence team, I’m involved in research that provides the evidence needed to inform the conservation actions of WWT and our partners. My current areas of research include improving our understanding of the benefits of wetlands for nature and people, including their storage of carbon, and their provision of socio-cultural services. I have worked extensively on diagnosing the demographic and environmental causes of population declines in threated wetland species, such as the Bewick's Swan (Cygnus columbianus bewickii).
