The 2009 winner is Dr Ana RodriguesAna Rodrigues is both an outstanding scientist and conservationist. She has made significant contributions to a broad range of scientific areas in the field of conservation science. For example, she has quantified mammal and amphibian declines and identified appropriate conservation responses, revealed surrogates for conservation planning, and helped to define what is required for an effective and representative protected area system. Ana also tackles fundamental questions about what is required for success in conservation globally. It is also important to recognise her contribution to some of the most influential conservation documents and reports to come out over the past decade – the Global Gap analysis, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the biodiversity chapter of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment are cases in point. Her relentless energy, dedication to conservation and commitment to integrating the best science into applied conservation are evident to all who meet her. Email: |
