About Rebecca Garrity
My interest in the natural world led me to pursue a career in wildlife and environmental conservation. I have led marine mammal surveys in international waters and costal litter pick audits in New Zealand to collect data which in turn is used to inform government decision making. I am experienced in conservation research, surveying, data entry, and wildlife photography and am seeking current remote contracts.
I enjoy traveling and "giving back" to the places I visit. I have worked on conservation and wildlife rescue projects in China, Australia, New Zealand, Greece, and UK.
Since Covid, I took up a new skill in permaculture, using natural systems thinking to live a more sustainable lifestyle. I have assisted with the startup of an urban market garden through the Canterbury Permaculture Institute where I had a hand in project planning and site supervision.
I have worked and volunteered for various non-government organisations. I value their views and goals and I enjoy working in a field where I can combine them with my passion for nature, travel, and environmental education.
