Services

I help organizations design, fund, implement, and evaluate science-based conservation strategies that deliver measurable outcomes for biodiversity, climate, and people.

I work with NGOs, governments, foundations and donors, universities and research institutions, Indigenous Peoples' and community-based organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. My work combines scientific rigor with practical implementation, helping organizations bridge research, policy, and conservation practice.

I provide scientific leadership, strategic advice, and technical support to organizations working at the intersection of biodiversity conservation, climate change, ecosystem protection and restoration, and human well-being.

Conservation Strategy & Leadership

I support organizations in developing and implementing science-based conservation and climate strategies and provide independent scientific advice to strengthen decision-making.

Services include:

Development of organizational, divisional, and program-level conservation strategies
Strategic scientific advice and leadership
Strategic planning and theory of change development
Integration of biodiversity, climate resilience, ecosystem restoration, and human well-being into conservation planning
Integration of natural and social sciences into conservation strategies
Science-to-policy and science-to-practice strategies
Interim and fractional scientific or conservation leadership for organizations needing senior expertise for a defined period

Strategy, Program Design & Fundraising

I help organizations turn conservation ideas into scientifically rigorous, implementable, and fundable programs, and bring extensive experience developing multidisciplinary conservation proposals and working with partners to connect scientific priorities, implementation, monitoring, budgets, and donor requirements.

Services include:

Conservation and Climate strategies
Conservation and climate program and project design
Proposal development and technical leadership
Scientific and technical narratives for major proposals
Theory of change development
Logical frameworks and results frameworks
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning plans
Development of scientific rationale and evidence bases
Technical review of conservation proposals and programs

Evaluation, Evidence & Learning

I help organizations understand whether conservation programs and investments are achieving their intended outcomes, why they are or are not working, and how they can improve.

Services include:

Independent program and portfolio evaluations
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning frameworks
Indicators for biodiversity, climate adaptation, and Nature-based Solutions
Impact assessments
Results-based management
Adaptive management
Technical review of monitoring and evaluation systems

Applied Science, Training & Communication

I help organizations generate, interpret, and communicate scientific evidence and strengthen the capacity of people to use that evidence in conservation practice and decision-making.

Services include:

Design of applied research
Evidence synthesis and scientific reviews
Scientific and technical reports
Policy briefs and executive summaries
Translation of scientific findings into accessible language
Presentations and briefings for decision-makers
Webinars
University lectures and keynote presentations
Executive and practitioner training

Training can be tailored to organizations and teams and includes topics such as climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, Nature-based Solutions, ecosystem-based adaptation, ecosystem restoration, monitoring and evaluation, conservation science, and applied ecology.

Fractional or Interim Leadership — Senior scientific or conservation leadership for organizations that need additional leadership capacity for a defined period.

Strategy, Program Design & Fundraising — Strategy development, program design, evaluations, evidence synthesis, MEL systems, and proposal development.

Program & Portfolio Evaluations — Independent assessment of conservation programs, portfolios, outcomes, and learning.

Independent Technical Reviews — Scientific and technical review of conservation programs, proposals, strategies, monitoring systems, and approaches.

Training & Communication — Executive briefings, lectures, webinars, and tailored capacity development.

Let's Work Together

If your organization is developing a conservation strategy or program, evaluating its impact, preparing a major proposal, or needs additional scientific leadership or expertise, I would be happy to discuss how I could support your work.

Please get in touch to discuss your project or organizational needs, via email or LinkedIn.
