Dr. Shirley is an applied species conservation ecologist working at the interface of species ecology, trade policy and sustainability, and applied conservation through capacity building and reinforcement with local partners, mostly in West and Central Africa. His work relies on flagship species to advance conservation and ecology research in tropical forests and wetlands, focused on pangolins, crocodilians, and other charismatic but largely ignored species. His work with pangolins began in 2018 and he runs a comprehensive program on pangolin ecology, health, and trade in West Africa focused on better understanding pangolin-environment interactions, pangolin abundance, and factors affecting distribution, local harvest, trade and trade composition. Dr. Shirley is keen to advance conservation planning for pangolins in West and Central Africa through key synergies with regional stakeholders. He is Co-Chair of the PSG since 2021.
