Mya-Rose Craig, also known as Birdgirl, set up Black2Nature to help engage more children from minority ethnic backgrounds (BAME) in conservation.
She received the doctor of science degree from the University of Bristol.

Dear Colleagues
Would you like to have a say in how the University promotes and celebrates equality, diversity and inclusion for LGBT+ staff and students?
If yes, then how about joining our LGBT+ Staff
Network. We welcome all new members who identify as LGBT+ and Allies.
Our aim
is to:
- Support
all LGBT+ staff to enable them to achieve their potential in their careers.
- Help
make the university environment more diverse and inclusive for all staff and students.
- Raise
awareness with colleagues about various needs of LGBT+ staff and students and
how to support them.
The
LGBT+ Staff Network will play a pivotal role in the University’s submission for
the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index.
The
network has direct communication channel to Senior Management through the
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
