PhD student, The University of Sydney

Amanda is a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, researching the impact of global consumption on the extinction risk of species. She returned to university studies after more than 25 years in the corporate world to follow her passion for nature conservation. Her research utilises input-output methodology to connect supply chain data to the detailed species information curated in IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species, allowing the identification of the locations and economic sectors which drive species' extinction risk.
