Tom White | Postdoctoral researcher

I am a conservation scientist interested in how we can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of biodiversity conservation actions, to ensure they are delivering the conservation gains required to address the biodiversity crisis and meet global targets. Having originally trained in Biological Sciences and Conservation Science, I have recently completed a PhD with the Conservation Evidence group in Cambridge University using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate how we can improve the cost-effectiveness of conservation action.

I also have several years of experience in environmental consultancy where I have developed a particular interest in the role of the private sector in addressing their negative biodiversity impacts, and in delivering conservation action. This has recently formed a large proportion of my work, and I continue to work part time at The Biodiversity Consultancy, to help develop collaborative research projects that cross the research-practice boundary.
