John D. Reynolds is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Simon Fraser University. He holds the Tom Buell BC Leadership Chair in Aquatic Conservation and serves as the Chair of Endangered Wildlife Canada (COSEWIC). His research focuses on conservation ecology, particularly regarding Pacific salmon and their ecosystems. Reynolds' work emphasizes the connection between marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats, with a goal of understanding human impacts on salmon habitats and translating this knowledge into management strategies. He has conducted long-term field studies and experiments aimed at linking life history traits to population dynamics, hoping to improve recovery options for endangered species. His studies highlight the severe threats faced by salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest, where 25% of salmon stocks have become severely threatened due to urbanization, pollution, and climate change. Through his research, he aims to inform holistic management practices to protect aquatic ecosystems.
