So, what am I working on?...

I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss.


Through the conversion of large areas of countryside into farmland and towns, many animals and plants have lost areas of their original habitat. This affects how many organisms survive, how they move and how they interact. When combined with a changing climate it is highly likely that a range of organisms are going to be effected, causing biodiversity loss and altering ecosystems.

The Natural History Museum, London

Soon I will be garden-less and therefore unable to rear caterpillars myself. To make up for this I am considering volunteering for a few hours a week at the Butterfly House at the Natural History Museum in London's South Kensington.



They also have many other interesting exhibits on, the following caught my eye:

- Interactive Climate Change Wall

- The Darwin Centre

Check them out if you're in the area.
