He also works as part of the National Environmental Science Programme - Clean Air and Urban Landscapes Hub (NESP-CAUL), where he is contributing to 'The shared urban habitat', a research project looking at addressing the broad question of how humans can effectively share the urban habitat with other species. He is particularly interested in developing a protocol for bringing back nature to urban environments.
