Dr James Bennett is a Senior Lecturer in Environmental Studies at Coventry University. An expert in small-scale agricultural production systems, biodiversity and conservation, and rangeland ecology and management, Dr Bennett has recently returned from a research field trip to Ethiopia.

He visited the Liben Plain in the Southern Ethiopian lowlands in conjunction with bird conservation specialists from the RSPB and BirdLife International and local research students affiliated with the Ethiopian Wildlife and Natural History Society.

The project focuses on conservation of the critically endangered Liben Lark which is known only from the Liben Plain and one other site in Ethiopia.
