Collaborators

I’m always keen to hear from researchers, conservation organisations, protected area managers and technology developers who are interested in working together. I welcome joint research projects and funding bids, co-supervision of students, data-sharing partnerships, and opportunities to develop and test new conservation technologies in the field.

Interested in collaborating?
