Nigel Collar

I am a Leventis Fellow in conservation biology with BirdLife International, where I have previously worked as the Director of Science, Director of Development, Chairman of the ICBP Bustard Group and the compiler of the International Bird Red Data Book. My current work involves studying threatened birds and habitats through fieldwork and the support of graduate students.

I am a Honorary Professor at the University of East Anglia’s School of Biological Sciences and have written over 100 scientific papers and 12 books including Birds and People: Bonds in a Timeless Journey and Facing Extinction: The World’s Rarest Birds and the Race to Save Them.
