PhD opportunity at Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge, United Kingdom) in Zoo Spaces and Equitable Nature Connection . This funded PhD project examines how UK zoo education programmes and zoo spaces can strengthen public connection to nature and support behaviour change. Working with the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA), the student will use social science and mixed-methods approaches to audit conservation education interventions across multiple zoos. The project also...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds through YES•DTN . This project, YES-27-G-02: Building Climate-Resilient Landscapes: Ecohydrological Recovery of Peat and Organo-Mineral Soils , focuses on how peat and organo-mineral soils recover after nature-based restoration and what that recovery means for resilience to climate extremes . The research is closely aligned with ecohydrology , peatlands , moorland restoration , and nature-based solutions , with collaboration involving Bridestones Rewild...
