MsVida Svahnstrom

I am a PhD student based at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and part of the Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet DTP. My research focuses on the macroecology and evolution of epiphytic flowering plants, aiming to improve our understanding of their extinction risk and to identify conservation priorities. My previous research has focused on rare plant conservation management, conservation assessment methodology, and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. I am a member of the IUCN SSC Orchid Specialist Group and a certified IUCN Red List Trainer.
