Growing up between rural North Wales and the North of Scotland, conservation has always been at the forefront of Megan’s upbringing – whether helping with projects to plant native woodlands, improving the habitat for wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout, planting hedgerows or nurturing the British black honeybee. After spending time at a tiger reserve in India, Megan became fascinated in the role that community empowerment, education and involvement plays in successful conservation – consolidating her desire to work in this area.
Megan went on to study history and politics at Newcastle University followed by a master’s in journalism at Edinburgh Napier. Previous to joining the Pelorus Foundation, Megan was based in Kathmandu working as a research and communications intern for the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament.
