Bing Lin
Bing Lin is a conservation scientist, visual storyteller, and science communicator.[1][2]
Lin was born in Bandung, Indonesia, and grew up in a Taiwanese household. He went to Bandung Independent School from pre-school 1 to grade 12. Lin attended Princeton University for college, where he majored in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and obtained a certificate in Environmental Studies.[3] Lin played men's varsity soccer during his undergraduate years.[4]
Lin did a year-long Princeton in Asia fellowship in Bangsak, Thailand from 2016 to 2017, where he taught English to students aged 6 to 20 at Rajaprajanugroh 35th, a boarding school under the Royal Patronage.[3] He then spent a year in the Ethiopian highlands conducting primate behavioral research for the Guassa Gelada Research Project.[5][6] Prior to graduate school, Lin hiked over 2,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019.
He returned to Princeton in 2019 to pursue a Ph.D. in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, where he is currently a fifth-year doctoral candidate.[2]
Lin's scientific research broadly focuses on the socio-ecological dimensions of coral reefs and their conservation.[7] His research was the first to document the regional-scale impacts of coastal tourism on coral reefs across the main Hawaiian islands.[8][9][10][11] This research was subsequently cited as justification in the passing of the Ocean Stewardship User Fee in Hawaii, which requires a $1.00 USD fee from each ocean-going customer or passenger to be used for conservation starting on January 1st, 2024.[12][13]
Lin's research on the wildlife trade was also among the first to academically define the term "wet markets" as marketplaces selling consumption-oriented, perishable goods (i.e., fresh meats and produce), in a non-supermarket setting. This research encourages policymakers and the public to not conflate all wet markets with wildlife markets or live-animal markets.[14][15]
Lin is also an Emerging League member of the International League of Conservation Photographers.[16] His award-winning photos and writing have appeared in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, BBC News, Scientific American, Princeton Alumni Weekly, Scuba Diving, Nature, The Nature Conservancy, and other outlets.[6][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] He has also given various talks about his research and photography in various public seminars, podcasts, and workshops.[25][26][27][28][29]
