Kelsey Neam

Biodiversity Assessments Coordinator

Education

M.S. Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University
B.S. Environmental Science and Policy, University of Maryland

Kelsey Neam specializes in species assessment initiatives and the analysis of species conservation data. Kelsey is currently focused on assessing the global extinction risk of the world’s amphibians. As a Programme Officer of the IUCN SSC Amphibian Red List Authority (ARLA), Kelsey works jointly with Jennifer Luedtke (GWC’s Manager of IUCN Red List Assessments) to maintain and update all known amphibian species on the IUCN Red List in order to inform and catalyze action for conservation.

Kelsey received her master’s degree in wildlife and fisheries sciences from Texas A&M University, where she investigated the effects of habitat structure and landscape composition on the spatial ecology of three-toed sloths in Costa Rica. As a graduate student in the Applied Biodiversity Science (ABS) program, Kelsey received training in the biological and social sciences to evaluate the causes, consequences, and solutions to biodiversity loss through the lenses of ecology, culture and governance.
