Professor Hughes, Alice Catherine
Alice is a former Professor for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, before moving to the University of Hong Kong in late 2021. She has worked extensively across the Tropics, and previously held positions in Thailand, Australia, Costa Rica, and the UK before moving to China. Alice is the author of one book and over 130 papers, including papers in Cell, Nature Communications, Current Biology and Science advances. She also serves as an editor for six journals. Alice also works with a number of NGOs, the Biodiversity committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the biodiversity special policy study of CCICED as well as a member of the APBON work group, and Secretary general for INTECOL.
Alice aims to ensure that biodiversity policy reflects the best of biodiversity science and works to actively communicate conservation standards and tools on a regional and global basis. Her work aims to span the gap between conservation science and conservation action, understanding the threats to diversity and analyzing effective targets to be developed which provide a practical path to stemming global and regional drivers of diversity loss, and maximizes synergies with climate goals and ecosystem service provision.
