Meredith Root-Bernstein

PeerJ Editor & Author

Summary

I am an ethnobiologist and interdisciplinary conservation scientist. I have two masters degrees in Zoology (ethology) and Conservation, Biodiversity and Management, and a PhD in Ecology. During my degrees and several post-docs I developed competencies in social sciences methods and human geography and anthropological theory. I have worked in Chile since 2008, developing socio-ecological approaches to conservation, restoration, and rewilding. In addition, I have done fieldwork-based research projects in Denmark, Italy, and Lesotho.
