I am a journalist, specializing in the fields of science, conservation, environmental issues, ecology, biology, technology, and innovation. After having lived in Southern Africa for more than a combined 13 years, I made the move to London in 2021. Here I continue my coverage of African conservation efforts, while also exploring the scientific research conducted by academic institutions in my new host country.
