Dr. Ransom has been working in wildlife biology, ecology, and conservation for over 25 years, and has experience studying a wide variety of species and systems. He is a member of the IUCN Species Survival Commission, a senior Wildlife Ecologist at the US National Park Service, and Affiliate Faculty at Colorado State University. His work is on the front lines of applied conservation science in Africa and North America. From an academic perspective, Dr. Ransom's research focuses on restoration science, phenology of biological phenomena, behavioural adaptation to environmental change, and the importance of protected areas to landscape level conservation. He currently mentors graduate students at Stellenbosch University, Colorado State University, University of Montana, Washington State University, and Western Washington University. Dr. Ransom works in a broad collaborative framework, across agencies, organisations, and diverse stakeholder groups, which he feels is essential to addressing even the most basic conservation challenges.
