PhD in Molecular Ecology with 15 years of field experience in biodiversity hotspots. Specializes in ecosystem restoration, genetic diversity, and CRISPR applications in conservation.
Dr. Silas Thorne is a seasoned Molecular Ecologist who bridges the gap between genetic engineering and field conservation. With a PhD from Cambridge and over a decade leading restoration projects in the Amazon and Congo Basin, he offers deep insights into both the microscopic and macroscopic drivers of biodiversity. His work focuses on how emerging technologies like CRISPR can aid species resilience while advocating for traditional rewilding methods. Silas writes to inform policymakers and scientists about the critical intersection of biotechnology and environmental stewardship, debunking myths about "green deserts" and advocating for scientifically backed reforestation.
