About Rachel White

Hi, I'm Rachel and I'm currently a Senior Lecturer in Ecology and Conservation at the University of Brighton (UK). My research interests encompass avian ecology & conservation science, urban ecology, human-nature interactions, citizen science, and patterns & drivers of extinction risk. I'm passionate about sharing my sense of wonder and excitement about the natural world, including finding effective ways to conect members of the public (particularly children and teenagers) with nature. I am a strong proponent of the conservation optimism movement, evidence-informed conservation, research transparency, and for reducing the current research-implementation gap. Before my curreny job, I did a PhD in Biodiversity Management at DICE (University of Kent), MSc Conservation Science at Imperial College, and BSc Zoology at Durham University.
