Born and bred in Hong Kong, Thomas came to WWF-Hong Kong in September 2018 as a freelance writer for the Panda Blog. Drawing on his passion for writing and knowledge gained from years of volunteer experience in conservation, he frequently publishes pieces that he hopes will educate and inspire Hong Kong’s people to appreciate and protect the wealth of nature just on their doorstep. He also publishes pieces concerning global environmental issues including plastic pollution, deforestation, the illegal wildlife trade and environmental finance. Thomas currently holds an undergraduate and master’s degree in Ecology and Conservation Biology from the University of Sheffield.
