Projects Coordinator, EDGE of Existence
Caroline is the Projects Coordinator for the EDGE of Existence, a programme aimed at conserving the weird and wonderful species that represent unique branches in the tree of life.
Before her role with EDGE Caroline lived in South Africa where she was involved in various wildlife conservation and research roles, as well as being a qualified field guide. In 2015 she set up a wildlife research base, allowing students from all over the world to conduct short term research projects that would make up part of a much bigger project on the wildlife ecology of the local area.
Caroline has an MSc in Conservation Science from Imperial College London, during which she looked into the effectiveness of volunteer conservation projects. Further to this she has conducted research in Tanzania establishing the viability of wildlife corridors plus the use of butterflies as indicators of habitat degradation.
She has also lived in Uganda and Venezuela, enjoying travelling to new places when she can.
