During my time as a Biology undergraduate, I became fascinated with the interactions between humans and nature. This has led me to focus my 4th Year MBiol masters project on ways to rapidly and sustainably bridge the political and economic shortfall in biodiversity conservation. In particular, I am interested in examining the effectiveness of long term offsets and biodiversity credit markets, identifying advantages and improvements needed in order for such nature markets to scale meaningfully and become an effective, globally implemented tool for nature financing.
