Issy is an independent researcher who has written and presented on non-human animal cultures and relationships with the more-than-human. She is particularly interested in autonomous (wild) Animals and Plants. She enjoys sitting with Trees (and other non-human beings), being receptive to the wisdoms that can arise from an open-minded connection with the more-than-human. Her work embraces the factual and scientific, the theoretical and ethical, and the speculative and imaginal. She works as a broadcast journalist (covering sports) and volunteers for various conservation organizations in her home country, the UK.
