John F. McEvoy

I have very broad interests but in general my work revolves around conservation and animal movement behaviour and specifically the interplay between environmental, physiological and cognitive factors that shape observed patterns of movement in wide ranging and nomadic species. I am a passionate advocate for evidence-based approaches to developing conservation policy. Recent work includes studying the movement ecology and conservation of endangered species including Asian Elephant, Przewalski's Horse and Grey Wolf and mapping networks of illegal wildlife trade and consumption in Myanmar.
Outside of science I am a keen wildlife photographer and have worked for years as a circus/street performer and co-founded a street performance company and circus school in my home country of Ireland.
