Tuning into the Forest: Stories of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) in Nature

Roseanna Gamlen-Greene, originally from New Zealand, is a PhD Candidate at UBC, National Geographic Explorer, UBC Public Scholar, and Vanier Canada Scholar. She is currently researching the conservation biology of amphibians on Haida Gwaii, BC, Canada. Her work involves tromping through beautiful bogs, sea kayaking, canoeing and boating to remote locations, experiments and working with the local community to conserve the Western Toad (the only indigenous amphibian on Haida Gwaii). She is researching whether introduced frogs are outcompeting toads, how genetically distinct Haida Gwaii toad populations are compared to mainland toads and why introduced frogs are spreading.
