Just a quick hello here to introduce myself. I'm the Director of Plateau Perspectives, an international NGO that supports community-led conservation and sustainable development in the mountains of Central Asia. While I have previously lived for ~18 years in the Tibetan plateau region in western China and then ~6 years in Kyrgyzstan, I am now based in the Scottish Highlands - travelling out from here, when and as needed. I have field experience as conservation biologist as well as development practitioner; occasionally serve as consultant with IUCN, UNDP and other groups; and currently am an Honorary Research Associate in the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford.

Welcome to WildHub, Marc - it’s great to have you here!

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. Your experience across the Tibetan Plateau and Central Asia, along with your work in community-led conservation and sustainable development, brings a really valuable perspective to the community. 

Would you be open to sharing your conservation journey and current work through a short interview with one of our Conservation Catalysts? It would be a great opportunity to highlight your experiences and insights, and to inspire others across the WildHub network.
