Contemplating the way animals are considered in conservation
Conservation is inherently ethical, requiring conservationists to navigate morally difficult situations. As humans continue to alter ecosystems, creating conservation programs that work for people, animals, and ecosystems is vital. I am interested in helping develop rigorous ethical frameworks which can be used by practicing conservationists to do better science, and do science better.
