Welcome Calum Ryan!

Join us in welcoming Calum Ryan, our new SMART Capacity Support Consultant based in Bristol, UK. Below is a message from Calum to the SMART Community:

"Hello everyone,

I’m Calum Ryan, and I recently joined the SMART Partnership under Re:wild as the SMART Capacity Support Consultant. My role focuses on strengthening capacity within the SMART Partnership by helping to develop standardized training approaches, a strategy for national adoptions, improving PCA management effectiveness using the SMART Approach, and supporting SMART training.

A bit about me - I completed my BSc in Animal Biology & Conservation at Oxford Brookes University two years ago, where I worked briefly with the EU’s Court of Auditors. Since then, I’ve worked with Fauna & Flora, reviewing their SMART user base and leading the development of their SMART approach. More recently, I lectured and led fieldwork for Operation Wallacea in Krka National Park, Croatia.

I’m currently based near Bristol in the UK - so if anyone is nearby and wants to chat SMART, feel free to reach out!

I’m looking forward to working with you all.

All the best,
Calum”
