Matt joined the Map of Life project in July 2021. He did his PhD at the University of Cape Town where he collaborated with Panthera to analyze patterns in leopard density among South African protected areas. Previously, Matt investigated illegal bushmeat hunting in the Okavango Delta, Botswana and worked as a lodge manager in the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania. He earned a Masters of Environmental Management from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts from Pomona College.
