Biography

Anita is a conservation ecologist who enthusiastically supports wildlife conservation by integrating her research and professional practice activities with mentoring student partners co-creating new knowledge. Anita has a core research interest in conserving the wildlife of cultural habitats such as heathlands, meadows and woods. Their rich biodiversity is a result of centuries of traditional farming-based societies affecting key ecological feed-back processes including grazing and pollination. Anita is intrigued by how wildlife responds to newer human land uses, for example, nature-based tourism and carbon capture.

Her research projects include collaboration with the National Trust and other wildlife conservation organisations forging an innovative landscape-scale conservation vision for the internationally important Purbeck Heaths. Students have integral roles in the project, co-creating long term monitoring of ecological change. Similarly Anita’s collaborations with the University of Leon and Pyrenean Institute of Ecology in Spain provide student co-researchers with different perspectives on wildlife conservation of mountain meadow ecosystems in the face of climate and cultural change...
