Background

Sarah is passionate about nature, particularly supporting people to make the world a better place for both. She has a broad conservation background and wants to work with everyone to make a difference. After obtaining an MSc in Protected Landscape Management her work for the past 20+ years has ranged from enabling communities to manage natural resources at the local level, to developing the capacity of countries to address global environmental issues. Previously she has worked with the UNDP-GEF Regional Bureau for Europe and the CIS supporting countries to access funds to undertake national capacity self-assessments to assess their capacity to meet the requirements of the global environment conventions. She has also managed the RSPB’s UK Overseas Territories programme and has led the team providing support to BirdLife partners in Africa and Asia. Most recently she has managed the RSPB’s curlew recovery programme in the UK where the aim is to enable partners within priority landscapes to improve the conservation prospects for this globally threatened species.
