Overview and description
Description:
Group leadership
Dr Michael BROWN
I am a conservation ecologist interested in developing applied solutions to conservation challenges rooted in scientific understandings of population ecology and movement ecology. Examining these processes through the lens of spatial interactions over time, I hope to better understand how individuals and populations respond to changing environments - from seasonal variation in resource distribution to large scale human-driven disturbances- and exploring how an understanding of these interactions across spatiotemporal scales might be used to craft creative and meaningful conservation strategy.
I am committed to translating scientific findings into meaningful conservation strategy. As such, I work collaboratively with conservation organizations, government agencies and academic institutions to better understand and implement solutions to contemporary issues in biodiversity conservation. Conservation solutions are rooted in trust and understanding across cultural and political divides so I strive to integrate diverse perspectives of thinking and doing in collaborative conservation initiatives.

I am an evolutionary geneticist interested in understanding how natural and anthropogenic processes are involved in biodiversity change.
I did my PhD on okapi conservation genetic, and am currently a lecturer at Cardiff University, UK. My research investigates diversity in wild animal populations, often using historic and ancient DNA.

Specialist Group work
GOSG focuses to recognize the widespread threats to giraffe and okapi, and to address the lack of understanding of the species and their conservation needs.聽
Establishing a giraffid publications/metadata repository, Giraffe and Okapi taxonomy review, and developing standardized methods or protocols for Giraffe and Okapi surveys.
GOSG assesses species for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Threatened Species to inform conservation efforts.
