Hello! I am Gabrielle Langhorn, a 1st year PhD student in the Integrative Conservation (ICON) anthropology program. I am currently working on projects with Dr. Nelson and Dr. Mansur to analyze social contracts and the general public’s response to natural disasters. 

I am interested in environmental justice advocacy and ensuring that everyone has access to basic human necessities; i.e. access to nutritious food and clean water. I intend to find solutions that will help marginalized communities prosper while preserving the land for future generations.

With more than 9 years of work experience with World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-Pakistan), I had a chance to develop my insight into environmental challenges and nature conservation in Pakistan. Working with the organization, I learnt about different environmental issues from climate change to watershed management and species conservation. Being Coordinator Communications at WWF-Pakistan, it required me to engage with various government and non-government organizations including media on the issues related to conservation.
