Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosé Paris is a Senior Lecturer and ecosystem data scientist at UNSW with 11 years of research experience applying information technology to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. He co-developed the Global Ecosystem Typology, a function-based framework now informing international policy and natural capital accounting, and serves on the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems scientific committee. His work builds digital knowledge bases from diverse ecological data—species records, camera-trap histories, interactions and traits—to produce indicators used for risk assessment, restoration planning and national reporting. He combines rigorous ecological theory from a PhD in ecology with practical implementation across Australian landscapes, working with public, private and Indigenous land managers. Less obvious is his track record of turning complex, multi-source ecological datasets into actionable policy tools that bridge academic research and on-the-ground conservation practice.
