I can assist in delivering conservation projects. I am very keen that projects work with ‘the end in mind’ and that clear goals, or even exit strategies, are set. But project evaluation is a step-by-step process, learning from each stage and reassessing what worked and what did not. The first stage is to identify the desired results and then define how to get there.

I can offer in-country or remote training, tailored to the aims of the project, in a range of ecological techniques, for example; pitfall traps, Visual Encounter Surveys (VES), transects, and advise on methods for population census including mark-capture-recapture. Techniques will be orientated to each case, as species and situations differ substantially.

I can assist your research aims by helping to apply statistics, delivering training (including developing presentations), spatial mapping or developing figures for publication. I use R for statistics and ARCGIS Pro for spatial mapping and am currently investigating using drones for aerial mapping. The research publications I have been involved with can be found here.

Public presentations can be daunting but are an essential part of engaging with an audience. I have delivered well in excess of 20 talks to conferences and countless direct engagements with public, media and funders alike. I can offer training/help to develop presentations using power point.
