I believe diversity is multi-faceted and different members of the LGBTQIA+ community will face different challenges. By creating an inclusive network, I hope we can begin to tackle these challenges.

My name is Tally Yoh and I’m a Co-chair of the ALDER Network.
I studied Practical and Wildlife conservation at the University of Salford, followed by a research master’s looking at the impact of edge effects on bats in the Amazon. I continued working with bats for my PhD (DICE, University of Kent) where I focused on improving acoustic techniques for monitoring species in Southeast Asia. As a postdoc at the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE), University of Wisconsin-Madison, I am currently investigating whether logging certification helps conserve species in Gabon by assessing differences in the soundscape of different forest types.
My aim as a co-chair of the ALDER Network is to work with others to improve representation in the environmental sector and improve the experiences of those already working in the field. I believe diversity is multi-faceted and different members of the LGBTQIA+ community will face different challenges. By creating an inclusive network, I hope we can begin to tackle these challenges.
