Monty Ammar gained his undergraduate in Animal Biology and Wildlife Conservation from the University of Kent, completing his studies with a dissertation titled “Investigating the relationship between water bodies and bird diversity in two nature reserves”. He gained his Masters in Conservation Biology at the University of Kent, completing his studies with a dissertation titled “Using remote sensing and deep learning to analyse the recovery of gold mines in Guyana”.
After graduating from his postgraduate studies, Monty worked for Butterfly Conservation Northern Ireland as ‘Species On The Map officer’ for almost a year. During that time, he collected data on threatened butterfly and moth species, and conducted spatial analyses to inform conservation actions.
During the same time, Monty also began working with researchers from the University of Kent on a government and NGO partnered project to provide support in ecological niche modelling and spatial analyses.
Monty has now started studying for his PhD at the University of Kent, with a research focus on “Using Remote Sensing and Machine Learning to prioritise the recovery of degraded tropical forests”.
He is continuing to work with researchers from Kent providing ecological niche modelling spatial analyses support alongside his PhD.
