Introduction
I am a PhD student studying Asian elephant olfaction and food preferences in the Applied Behavioural Ecology and Conservation Lab (ABEC) at The University of Hong Kong. My past work centres around bird and bat ecology in tropical and temperate climates and I also have a keen interest in wildlife trade. I have recently undertaken fieldwork with captive elephants in Nepal as part of my PhD project.

While the automation of experiments to avoid potential experimenter bias is sometimes possible, not all experiments can be conducted without human presence. This is particularly true for large animals in captivity, which are often managed by professional handlers. Fo...

Nature has the potential to provide wide-ranging economic contributions to society – from ecosystem services to providing income to communities via fair trade of resources. Unsustainable trade in wildlife, however, threatens biodiversity and its ability to support communities and a functioning planet. It is therefore important to have clear systems...
