Chris Cosma is a conservation ecologist with the Conservation Biology Institute, specializing in pollinator conservation in urban and agricultural landscapes. He earned a PhD in ecology from the University of California, Riverside in 2024, where he studied the ecology and conservation of moths—critical yet understudied nocturnal pollinators. In addition to pollination ecology, Chris brings expertise in spatial ecology, network science, and climate change ecology. His work integrating ecological data and modeling into decision-support tools has produced widely used platforms for participatory pollinator habitat restoration. He has led national interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge ecological and social science to make these resources more accessible and inclusive. Based in Spokane, Washington, Chris is also active in local education and outreach, including organizing events for National Moth Week. In his free time, he enjoys backyard permaculture and writing popular science articles.
