I've been involved in protected area management since 2000. I'm currently based at the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve, Cape Town.

I'm a generalist, and will try to help identify biodiversity from areas that I know. Sometimes when I think I recognize something in an area I don't know, I might throw in a suggestion to see if it sticks.
