CV: Ben Scheufler

I’m Ben Scheufler, and I love to connect science to the real world. I’m a conservationist, project coordinator and designer who turns research and data into programs people can use. I manage complex, messy projects end-to-end (from logistics and stakeholder coordination to comms and evaluation): I coordinated the relocation and return moves for 40+ staff during the Beaty Centre expansion, ran “Biodiversity Days” that reached 31,479 people, and built GIS datasets to guide climate adaptation planning. I bring practical technical skills (GIS, data, communications) plus program design and stakeholder management to help conservation projects actually deliver impact.

Education

2018-2025 | BSc. Natural Resources Conservation | Major in Global Perspectives
The University of British Columbia

I studied conservation through an interdisciplinary lens—combining ecology, policy, social science and hands-on technical skills—to learn how people and ecosystems can coexist. Key coursework (CONS 452 capstone, CONS 370 Aboriginal Forestry, WOOD 461 Globalization & Sustainability, UFOR 495 Urban Biodiversity) gave me practical experience in spatial analysis and socio-economic assessment, grounded knowledge of Indigenous rights and resource governance, and tools for designing biodiversity-friendly urban landscapes. My capstone project involved collaborative spatial and policy work for conservation in Guyana; elsewhere I built GIS data products, wrote technical documentation, and translated research into toolkits and reports for campus planners and community partners. The program’s emphasis on experiential learning shaped my approach: make data useful, bring diverse voices into planning, and build projects that are both practical and policy-ready.
