I am a wildlife biologist conducting research programmes/collaborations in Peru, Ethiopia, China, Indonesia, and in the UK. I am particularly interested in avian ecology and conservation, reintroduction strategies for threatened species, and developing capacity in conservation science. I am a member of the Conservation, Evolution and Behaviour Research Group (CEB) at the Department of Natural Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University.
