New project on optimising conservation across Africa

Daisy Bartholemew will join the CEG in October 2015 as an MBiol student, working on the impacts of climate change on the conservation of birds and mammals across Africa.  Daisy will use results from Species Distribution Models already developed in the CEG research group to project the current and potential future ranges of African mammals and birds. We will combine these projections with Site Prioritisation Algorithms to establish the most cost effective conservation solutions for biodiversity across Africa under various future climate change projections.
