Dr Rob Sheldon has worked in nature conservation for almost 20 years, twelve of them with the RSPB (the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). He’s worked on projects that have taken him to Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates, and worked for the Zoological Society of London as the Director of the King Khalid Wildlife Research Centre in Saudi Arabia. Since 2013, he has been the Chairman of OSME, the Ornithological Society of the Middle East, The Caucasus and Central Asia.
Charlie met up with him to discuss his life in conservation and his new venture as a freelance consultant.
