Rebecca Watters, M.E.Sc.
Rebecca grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts. She has a BA in anthropology from St. Lawrence University, and a Masters of Environmental Science from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Rebecca has worked and done research in countries around the world, including Kenya, India, and Bosnia. She spent two and a half years in Mongolia, where she helped create an ecology curriculum for local schools, and worked with the national park system to monitor snow leopards, argali, ibex, and migratory birds. She subsequently spent a year and half in Cambodia working as an environmental education consultant. Her masters’ research focused on the social implications of wolf reintroduction in the northern Rockies, and she remains interested in the intersections of culture, human rights, and conservation. Rebecca is a writer and an artist, and uses these skills to draw attention to the diverse and dynamic stories and issues surrounding conservation work. Contact Rebecca (at) nrccooperative.org.
