Nathalie Pettorelli (born 1976) is a French conservation biologist who is a professor at the Institute of Zoology. Her research looks to inform environmental and wildlife management. She co-founded Soapbox Science in 2011, and was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2024.
Early life and education
Pettorelli grew up in France and attended Pontonniers International High School. She studied biology at the University of Strasbourg, and eventually moved into ecology during her graduate studies in Paris. Her doctoral research at the University of Lyon considered population dynamics. She investigated the quality of roe deer habitats in South West France. After graduating, she moved to the University of Oslo, where she investigated how climate was impacting vegetation and the dynamics of deer populations. She started to use remote sensing, using data collected from aircraft or satellites to study wildlife. She moved to Université Laval to study ungulates, and eventually to the Zoological Society of London to better understand cheetah dynamics.
Research and career
Pettorelli is a conservation biologist at the Institute of Zoology. She has worked in the Serengeti National Park and Chad. She aims to better understand the processes that drive the loss of biological diversity, and to use satellite data to inform policymaking. Her research has described the dynamics of vegetation in game reserves, and whether it was possible to reintroduce Scimitar oryx.
Alongside her research, Pettorelli is involved with science communication and outreach. Together with Seirian Sumner she launched Soapbox Science, which gives women scientists the opportunity to share their research and stories with the public.
