I often stayed after school to help in the lab, caring for animals and assisting with various tasks. This hands-on experience really boosted my interest in animals and science. As I grew older, I got into fishkeeping. It started as a hobby, but soon I was deeply involved in the aquarium industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Life took me in a different direction for some time; after almost five years in the military, I left to pursue my passion for nature. To fulfil this dream, I completed an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science at the American Military University (AMU), where my passion for conservation and ornithology blossomed. Eager to expand my knowledge further, I then pursued a Masters in Biodiversity and Conservation at the University of Exeter, England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" data-id=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-1024x719.webp?resize=1024%2C719&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-jpg.webp?resize=1024%2C719&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-jpg.webp?resize=300%2C211&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-jpg.webp?resize=768%2C539&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-jpg.webp?resize=1536%2C1079&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-jpg.webp?resize=18%2C12&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_child-jpg.webp?w=1787&amp;ssl=1 1787w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-1024x768.webp?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-scaled.webp?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-scaled.webp?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-scaled.webp?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-scaled.webp?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-scaled.webp?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbair_army-scaled.webp?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"883\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_hiking-883x1024.webp?resize=883%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_hiking-jpg.webp?resize=883%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 883w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_hiking-jpg.webp?resize=259%2C300&amp;ssl=1 259w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_hiking-jpg.webp?resize=768%2C890&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_hiking-jpg.webp?resize=10%2C12&amp;ssl=1 10w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rarelab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fairbairn_hiking-jpg.webp?w=1275&amp;ssl=1 1275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In 2018, I moved back to Germany and subsequently completed a second bachelor&#8217;s degree in information technology at AMU, focusing on enterprise software development.

Here I&#8217;m working towards a PhD in urban ecology, which I expect to complete in 2025. This research allows me to delve deeper into the complexities of ecosystems in human-dominated landscapes while honing my skills in bioacoustics. However, it has shown me that my true passion lies in species conservation and has led me down the path to founding RARElab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My journey from a nature-loving child to a veteran and conservation researcher has strengthened my commitment to understanding and protecting nature. I now channel my diverse background in ecology, technology and conservation into the study of lost, rare and understudied species.
