I am a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University looking at the influence of forest structure on orangutan desities, distributions, nesting and travel paths in Sumatra. I developed a love of nature and the environment from a young age and since starting university I've been fortunate enough to conduct field work across the globe including South Africa, Borneo, Kenya, Peru and the UK. My previous research as also been as diverse as the countries I've worked in, from niche separation in caiman, prey detection and travel in burying beetles and the influence of street lighting on lesser horseshoe bat foraging and ranging behaviours.
