Meet our team
"I focus on designing evidence-based conservation programmes to tackle today’s biggest biodiversity challenges. Using social science, I explore how initiatives spread and how people can be integrated into conservation planning. I’m passionate about translating research into real-world impact for both people and nature."
Dr Morena Mills
Programme Director
"I study ecology and conservation in tropical rainforests, focusing on insects. Using innovative methods, from field experiments to molecular and computational techniques, I explore biodiversity and global change. I love helping students turn data and discovery into real-world conservation impact."
