Martin Buchert

I’m a geographer and conservation planner with an inside perspective on the built environment industries that conservation work is always negotiating against. From habitat connectivity modeling in US tallgrass prairie remnants to land titling operations across Sub-Saharan Africa to aerial surveys in the Guianan forests of Amazonia, my field and research experience spans four continents across nine ecosystem types and the full spectrum from wildlands to intensely designed urban systems.

Along the way I’ve secured grant and contract funding, led multi-disciplinary field programs across multiple countries, and built the teams and institutional partnerships that turn missions into operational results — from building my own GIS consultancy to captaining proposal efforts that won international survey and land governance contracts at Medici Land Governance. I taught GIS at the graduate level for a decade at the University of Utah.
