Thomas White is enjoying a period as a Visiting Researcher in Jyväskylä’s biodiversity footprinting team – based here until November. He works part-time as a Research Fellow in the Nature Positive Hub at the University of Oxford, and as a Senior Principal Consultant for The Biodiversity Consultancy. His recent research has focused in two major areas: 1) understanding how we can better engage, and improve the outcomes from private sector biodiversity management (from measuring impacts and setting targets, to taking effective action); and 2) how we can collect and better use evidence to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of actions to protect and restore biodiversity.
