Matthew is a wildlife researcher doing some of the most grounded and genuinely exciting conservation work in the Philippines — focused on the Tamaraw and other wildlife species sharing the increasingly pressured landscapes of Mindoro. His work is rooted in animal behavior, studying how these species live, move, and interact in one of the country's most ecologically significant yet vulnerable islands. He is the kind of field researcher who lets the animals tell the story — deploying camera trapping as a core tool to capture behavior and presence data in ways that are non-invasive, systematic, and honestly pretty cinematic. But he does not stop at the footage. He brings complex statistical frameworks to ethological data analysis, ensuring that what the cameras capture is translated into findings that actually hold up scientifically. On the spatial side, he is an expert in GIS applications for wildlife mapping and species distribution modeling . His maps are not just visuals — they are decision-making tools. Conservation, technology, behavior, and statistics — Matt is building a profile that the future of Philippine wildlife research seriously needs.
