Tristan studied ecology and philosophy (BSC) at the University of Victoria, Wellington, and in 2018 completed his MA degree in Political, Legal and Economic Philosophy at the University of Bern. Now he is combining his interests in ethics and the natural world by looking at ethical principles for wildlife conservation, which will constitute the topic of his PhD research at the University of Fribourg Environmental Sciences and Humanities Institute. In particular he is interested in how issues of animal welfare should be considered by those wanting to manage wild populations.
