We left our jobs in March 2009 for some skill gathering around the world. To do that we got involved in community-based conservation projects in a number of different countries. After spending time in Belarus, Norway and a few places inbetween we returned to Scotland to do some planning. The outcome of that is a bit more focus (and even employment), with Ellie working with the seabirds in the Atlantic and Neil working on communities living alongside forests in Rwanda. This blog is to share our experiences...
Hello! We are two ecologists who met in Aberdeen, Scotland, while working on the behaviour and ecology of seabirds in the North Sea. More recently we worked with the Prince Wiliam Sound Science Centre in Cordova, Alaska, examining the effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, still detectable more than 20 years on.
We love ecology and research but are also interested in how conservation works in real communities.
Aside from that we like long hikes and camping, nature-rambles, building straw bale houses, taking photos, music and star trek (Ellie!!)...
