Shane (Wen Xuan) is Singaporean and will be the RA for NParks wild boar project and likely take key roles in many aspects of the ECL work (much beyond a normal RA). He officially starts the last week of May. Shane has experience with wildlife trafficking, Share surveys, and he previously worked with NParks. [He has even just led a peer-reviewed paper, congrats Shane!] 

 

He will lead much of the on-the-ground work for the wild boar project, including logistics with NParks, and he will also lead side-projects within the ECL, including leading papers. Longer-term, we are aiming for Shane to join the ECL as a PhD student in 2023 or 2024, or another top ecology/conservation program.
