Charlotte Rigolot

Charlotte is a PhD candidate in the CSRG at the University of Newcastle. With a profound interest in wildlife conservation, she is focused on understanding the impact of translocation on koala populations. After completing her Bachelor of science and Master in Conservation Biology at the University of Toulouse (France) with a research project at Dalhousie University (Canada), she then worked for a few years as a bird/bat ecologist in Europe. Driven by a passion for biodiversity conservation and a desire to address contemporary environmental challenges, Charlotte moved to Newcastle in 2023 to pursue a PhD in environmental science. Her research project is centered on the complexities of koala ecology, conservation, and management in Australia. Through this project, Charlotte collaborates with local partners and managers in NSW, aiming to contribute to the development of effective conservation strategies.
