Professor of Conservation Ecology, Manchester Metropolitan University

I am a conservation ecologist who works particularly on threatened taxa. Much of my work concerns the effects of human actions such as land use change and direct exploitation on wildlife, including tropical birds, but also on mammals, amphibians, and UK species/systems biodiversity. I work mainly through PhD students and research assistants, both from within Europe, and from Asia, Africa and South America. Capacity building for conservation research within developing countries is a key aim of my work.
