Amelia Reddish

I have received a first-class honors degree in Zoology at the University of Reading; an MRes in Animal Behaviour at the University of Nottingham; and recently graduated with an MSc in Biodiversity Conservation at Nottingham Trent University. In addition to my academic achievements I have volunteered extensively and my passion for wildlife extends beyond my education. Specifically to bats, I frequently volunteer with Nottinghamshire Bat Group and I am currently training for a VBRB license and am a registered bat carer with the Bat Conservation Trust.

I aspire towards a career in research and hope to do a PhD in the future. My research interests are broad, however I am particularly interested in bats as study species. The diversity of bats is fascinating and offers endless opportunity for research.

I am interested in research surrounding human-wildlife conflict. As the human population continues to rise and urban development expands human-wildlife conflict will inevitably increase, it is therefore vital that solutions are sought. Human-wildlife conflict is a heavily researched topic, however relatively, there is very little research on human-bat conflict.
