Wildlife Biology

 
SciWrite's founder, Lee Harding, has a B.Sc. in Wildlife Management from the University of California (1970), a Ph.D. from Gifu University, Japan (2002) and is a Registered Professional Biologist (R.P.Bio.) in British Columbia.  As a consultant during 1972-76 he studied wildlife ecology in forest and tundra ecosystems.  In 1976 he joined Environment Canada as a Senior Environmental Design biologist in Alberta, moving to positions as a science program manager in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia.  He received a Citation of Excellence (1995) and a Merit Award (1996) from the Canadian Wildlife Service, where he headed sections responsible for wildlife toxicology, ecosystem planning and land claims negotiations.   In 1997 he retired from public service to consult full time.

By working with associates and using in-house equipment, Harding is prepared to lead wildlife field research anywhere in the world.
