Dr. Dustin Partridge is the Director of Conservation and Science at NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon), a nonprofit that protects wild birds and their habitats in New York City. As the organization’s lead scientist, Dr. Partridge oversees all conservation efforts in three major focus areas: making the city’s buildings safer for migratory birds, protecting the city’s robust waterbird colonies, and improving and promoting habitat and green infrastructure. Dr. Partridge is also a founder of the NYC Green Roof Researchers Alliance and an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University. Like his dissertation work, which examined the ecology of green roofs and their role in wildlife conservation, his approach to conservation is based in using science to drive solutions that benefit both wildlife and people.
