About Anna Heath

Conservation Research Analyst

Anna joined Synchronicity Earth in September 2016 as a Junior Research Analyst. She had an international upbringing, spending most of her life in Thailand before moving back to the UK for university. She managed to stay in one place long enough to gain an MSci in Environmental Biology from University College London, but soon headed off to get experience in various forms of field research overseas. This involved freediving with whale sharks in the Philippines, tracking groups of howler monkeys in Mexico, and monitoring small mammal populations in the jungles of Malaysian Borneo. Her experience in the field has given her a broad understanding of both the science and the practicalities behind conservation work, which she enjoys applying to her role at Synchronicity Earth.

A crocodile success story (in pictures)

The Philippine Crocodile is one of the rarest and most endangered crocodiles in the world. Once found throughout the Philippines, in 2001 there were only 12 known individuals left in the wild due to habitat loss, pollution and overfishing. However, local people have pulled together to support a strong comeback for their crocodiles, and [...]

Conserving the forgotten half of our planet

Covering two thirds of the ocean’s surface and making up 90 per cent of our planet’s marine environment, most of the ocean falls under the definition of the 'high and deep seas'. The 'high and deep seas' describes the area of our ocean which lies either beyond the national boundaries of coastal countries or [...]

Whose ocean is it anyway?

Last week I attended the 'Our Ocean' conference on the shores of the Mediterranean in the coastal town of Saint Julian’s, Malta.
