Currently I provide overall coordination of the operation of the High Conservation Value (HCV) Resource Network in line with 4 key strategic aims:
 
1. Providing a credible central point of reference 
2. Supporting development & implementation of the HCV concept 
3. Providing a governance & quality control function 
4. Promoting use of the HCV approach in emerging & potential applications

Key supporting actions that I am responsible for include: provision of core information services (via a website, regular email briefings and publications); coordination of a Steering Group composed of key stakeholders, and of a Technical Panel of HCV expert practitioners. Additionally I work alongside the Network Manager in proactive outreach & project development to meet the strategic objectives outlined above.

My educational background is in zoology, with an emphasis on the behavioural ecology of primates. I have fieldwork experience from lowland dipterocarp forests in Southeast Asia (Sabah, Malaysian Borneo), where I researched the adaptive response of populations of wild orang utan to spatial and temporal patterns of fruit production.
