Nature-Based Insights Founder Honoured with Prestigious Marsh Award for Ecology

Professor Nathalie Seddon, a non-executive director at Nature-Based Insights, has been awarded the prestigious Marsh Award for Ecology by the British Ecological Society.

This recognition celebrates her significant contributions to both ecological research and its practical application. In December, Professor Seddon will formally accept the award at the
British Ecological Society‘s Annual Meeting and deliver the highly regarded Georgina Mace Lecture. Her work on nature-based solutions and her leadership of the Nature-based Solutions Initiative and Agile Initiative at the University of Oxford have solidified her reputation as a leading expert in the field.

“Receiving this award is a tremendous honour, especially considering the exceptional ecologists who have inspired me over the years,” said Professor Seddon. “Interdisciplinary research that integrates ecology with other disciplines plays a vital role in addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. I am thrilled to receive an award that highlights the importance of this work and am deeply grateful to the many wonderful people who have supported me throughout my career.”

Beyond her academic achievements, Professor Seddon serves as an advisor to governments, international organisations, and the private sector on nature-based solutions. Her expert guidance has significantly contributed to global efforts to restore and protect our ecosystems and promote human well-being.
