IUCN SSC Butterfly and Moth Specialist Group

I am the Freshwater Conservation Coordinator at the Global Center for Species Survival at the Indianapolis Zoo, supporting the freshwater work of the IUCN Species Survival Commission across the Assess-Plan-Act cycle. Previously, my research primarily focused on the Sampled Red List Index (SRLI), which is derived from the IUCN Red List Index and aids the measurement of general trends in the extinction risk of large numbers of taxonomic groups (especially lesser known taxa such as many invertebrate ones), which are broadly representative of global biodiversity. I also worked on other biodiversity indicators such as the Living Planet Index, as well as Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments and National Red Lists. I am a certified IUCN Red List trainer and have delivered Red List Training in several countries. I am co-chair of the IUCN SSC Butterfly & Moth Specialist Group, and coordinate the IUCN SSC Terrestrial and Freshwater Invertebrate Red List Authority (TIRLA). I am a member of the IUCN SSC Mollusc Specialist Group, IUCN SSC Freshwater Fish Specialist Group, and IUCN SSC Freshwater Conservation Committee.
