Holly began her career at WWF by assembling CSP's map of Eurasian ecoregions. For the next 5 years, she served as a technical advisor in methods of prioritization at ecoregion and landscape scales and was involved in several biodiversity vision workshops in ecoregions around the world. More recently she has been absorbed into the world of monitoring; and more specifically, in developing indicators for measuring trends in biodiversity status at different scales. She earned her master's degree in geography from the University of Colorado and learned GIS and remote sensing technologies at the University of Santa Barbara in California. She is fluent in Russian, can survive in Spanish, and her English isn't bad either.
Innovation in Science
WWF's Conservation Science Program is currently developing a new and innovative global hydrological database, termed HydroSHEDS.
