My working life has been dedicated to environmental management and wildlife conservation. I am now retired.
My Fellowship focused on wetland management and conservation. I researched management for conservation and invertebrates relative to limited financial and manpower resources and using the rosy marsh moth as an indicator species. I have studied and advised on wetland management and the biology and ecology of the rosy marsh moth in many parts of Europe and in Japan.
My continued work was dedicated to management planning, working internationally. In retirement, I was commissioned to prepare a conservation management plan for a huge area of the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.
On my local wetland National Nature Reserve I initiated a local community 'citizen science' project to survey aspects of the wetland biology, and to advise. My Fellowship has been my guiding beacon of experience throughout.
