Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread parasite introduced to New Zealand via cats and increasingly threatens native wildlife. This research conducts the first national survey of toxoplasmosis in native birds, identifying infection prevalence, affected organs, and ecological risk factors to better understand its impact on biodiversity.

This research examines the ecological and social feasibility of rewilding Britain, one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries. By modelling where native species could thrive and surveying public attitudes, the project aims to create a national roadmap for restoring lost biodiversity and rebuilding Britain’s fragmented ecosystems.
