Dan Challender | Senior Research Fellow

I am an inter-disciplinary Conservation Scientist interested in wildlife trade and use, its sustainability, governance, and economics, including human behaviour, and pangolins and their conservation.

I completed my PhD on reforming the CITES Convention, at DICE, University of Kent, UK in 2014.

I subsequently worked for the IUCN Secretariat where I led the organisation’s contribution to CITES and broader illegal wildlife trade work, prior to joining the University of Oxford. In 2012, I re-formed the IUCN SSC Pangolin Specialist Group and served as Chair of the group until early 2021.
