Professor Turvey has previously been based at the University of Oxford (UK) and the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). His research uses “non-standard” ecological archives, including local ecological knowledge and long-term historical baselines of past environmental conditions, to reconstruct human-caused biodiversity loss over time and inform current-day conservation. He is heavily involved with applied conservation research on highly threatened species, to develop effective science-based management and recovery strategies for tiny vulnerable animal populations. He has worked in China for over twenty years, and supports long-term conservation research and management efforts for several Critically Endangered endemic Chinese species such as the Hainan gibbon, Chinese giant salamander and Yangtze finless porpoise.
