Dr Mark O’Connell

Biography

I have worked in many parts of the world and across different parts of the conservation sector. This includes as an ecologist for the British Antarctic Survey and as Head of Research at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (Slimbridge). I have also been Director of an independent ecological research and training organization focused on conservation science and capacity building in developing countries. I bring these real-world experiences to my teaching, and in advising students on careers.
