The first six years of Gill Ainsworth environmental conservation career were spent working in several environmental advocacy and legal organisations in Melbourne and Darwin, managing fundraising and office development strategies. She then moved to the academic sector in 2007, spending three years working as a Research Associate in Charles Darwin University's School for Environmental Research in the Livelihoods and Policy theme. She then embarked on my PhD exploring social values of Australian threatened birds. This led to a post-doc position at the University of Aberdeen in 2015 where she worked on a knowledge co-production project regarding conservation management of declining ground-nesting bird populations in Scotland.
Main research interests are the relationships between humans and nature, specifically non-monetary (social, shared and cultural) values of threatened species and ecosystem services.
