Long-term conservation activism

I am deeply passionate about the conservation of nature and counteracting the deleterious impacts of the human population on other species, habitats and ecosystems.

 

I have an extensive background in conservation activities in which I have involved myself for over 25 years. I am particularly interested in migratory species, marine environments and habitat loss and degradation. My interests have led me to participate in a great deal of research projects, advocacy and public awareness campaigns across the globe.

Activities and activisim

For example:

  1. Translocation and artificial habitat construction and installation for threatened seabird species.
  2. Campaigns (including science/conservation communication & education; media production & outreach; local advocacy; demonstrations, marches, public speeches & presentations) to conserve beaches, reefs, wetlands, forests, various ecosystems and advocate against illegal fishing/poaching/hunting (shark fin, holothurians, turtles, lobsters, fish, corals etc)
  3. Environmental Impact Assessments & Statements (particularly in marine and freshwater ecosystems)
  4. Conduct research studies to underpin applied wildlife, species and habitat management; developing systems to incorporate vast amounts of data
  5. Population monitoring and assessments for lobsters, black grouper, sharks, manta rays, whale sharks, whales, seabirds, songbirds, frogs, plants. turtles corals, seaweed, cephalopods.
  6. Conservation activities such as constructing protections for sea turtle nests from flood inundation and poaching;
