Leverhulme Center for Nature Recovery Director named on ENDS Report Power List 2024

The ENDS Report Power List is back. This week they named the 100 UK environmental professionals who have made the greatest impact in the past two years – as nominated by their colleagues, clients and competitors. Today, ENDS released its final categories, revealing the names of 10 academics shaping the science on environmental issues, and nine professional influencers driving for change.

Yadvinder has been described by his peers as “a pioneering ecosystem ecologist who uses ecological knowledge to shape policy at regional, national and international levels, putting ecology at the heart of decision making”.

Former president of the British Ecological Society, trustee of the Natural History Museum of London and a fellow of the Royal Society, Malhi recently advanced the application of energy flows through ecosystems as a measure of function, providing a novel way of understanding how nature works – as well as invaluable insights into the conservation value of human-impacted landscapes.

In his field work, supporters say Malhi ensures that not only are local researchers and students included in the work but that they are “an integral part of the research team, acknowledged, valued, nurtured and respected in the same way as any other team member”.
