Molly K. Grace
Molly K. Grace is a British ecologist. She is a lecturer at University of Oxford and conservation ecologist. She co-chairs the IUCN Green Status of Species, an assessment method for species recovery.
Early life and education
Grace took a B. Sc. degree in biology at Duke University (2008 - 2012) and then was awarded her doctorate by University of Central Florida in 2017 for research on The Behavior of Humans and Wildlife with Respect to Roads: Insights for Mitigation and Management.[1]
Career
She has held several posts at the University of Oxford since 2017. Her research focuses on conservation ecology, species recovery and the evaluation of the impact of science-based interventions on conservation of animals, plants and fungi.[2] She is co-chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Green Status of Species working group and a member of the Red List Scientific Committee. The Green Status focuses on recovery of populations to their original roles, and is complementary to the avoidance of species extinction measured by Red Status. Grace's research involves measures to objectively assess these outcomes across different world habitats.[3]
