Lucy Gardner, one of last year’s biology graduates, has been shortlisted in The Undergraduate Awards 2014 for her level 3 literature review on land-sparing and land-sharing conservation strategies.  Her review, 'Can we feed the world whilst still conserving its biodiversity?’, was highly commended in the Earth & Environmental Sciences category. Another graduate, Caitlin Gibb was also highly commended in the Life Sciences category.

The Undergraduate Awards are a pan-discipline academic awards programme that identifies leading creative thinkers through their undergraduate coursework. This year the programme received 4,792 submissions from undergraduate students from across the world.

Lucy, now a research MSc student at Durham, will attend the three-day ‘Undergraduate Awards Global Summit’ in Dublin to present her work. For her MSc research she is planning to investigate the increased extinction threat to the world’s birds and mammals arising from future climate change.
