The Big Cat Sanctuary
I studied Biology at the University of Oxford. I completed my master’s dissertation on applying the IUCN Green Status of Species framework to explore drivers of recovery in wild canids and felids. This included completing preliminary Green Status of Species assessments for 20 felid and 20 canid species. I am now working as an intern within the IUCN SSC Cat Specialist Group to advance the global IUCN Green Status of Species assessments for all Felidae species and several notable subspecies. I work closely with the Red List Authority Coordinator and the IUCN Green Status of Species Working Group to co-ordinate and facilitate the assessment process and to deliver training on the IUCN Green Status of Species, as well as to develop cat specific guidelines for the Green Status of Species.
