Eresha FERNANDO

I am a conservationist with expertise in assessment work for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. I work as a Programme Officer for Freshwater Biodiversity within the IUCN Biodiversity Assessment and Knowledge Team. My work primarily involves increasing representation of freshwater biodiversity on the IUCN Red List. We also aim to use Red List work to conduct analyses on freshwater species, using these to subsequently promote management and conservation actions for the freshwater realm.
