Bing Lin hiking on the Tour du Mont Blanc

Bing Lin is a conservation scientist, visual storyteller, and science communicator. [1] [2]

Lin was born in Bandung, Indonesia, and grew up in a Taiwanese household. He went to Bandung Independent School from pre-school 1 to grade 12. Lin attended Princeton University for college, where he majored in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and obtained a certificate in Environmental Studies. [3] Lin played men's varsity soccer during his undergraduate years. [4]

Lin did a year-long Princeton in Asia fellowship in Bangsak, Thailand from 2016 to 2017, where he taught English to students aged 6 to 20 at Rajaprajanugroh 35th, a boarding school under the Royal Patronage. [3] He then spent a year in the Ethiopian highlands conducting primate behavioral research for the Guassa Gelada Research Project. [5] [6] Prior to graduate school, Lin hiked over 2,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019.

He returned to Princeton in 2019 to pursue a Ph.D. in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, where he is currently a fifth-year doctoral candidate. [2]

Lin's scientific research broadly focuses on the socio-ecological dimensions of coral reefs and their conservation. [7] His research was the first to document the regional-scale impacts of coastal tourism on coral reefs across the main Hawaiian islands. [8] [9] [10] [11] This research was subsequently cited as justification in the passing of the Ocean Stewardship User Fee in Hawaii, which requires a $1.00 USD fee from each ocean-going customer or passenger to be used for conservation starting on January 1st, 2024. [12] [13]

Lin's research on the wildlife trade was also among the first to academically define the term " wet markets" as marketplaces selling consumption-oriented, perishable goods (i.e., fresh meats and produce), in a non-supermarket setting. This research encourages policymakers and the public to not conflate all wet markets with wildlife markets or live-animal markets. [14] [15]

Lin is also an Emerging League member of the International League of Conservation Photographers. [16] His award-winning photos and writing have appeared in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, BBC News, Scientific American, Princeton Alumni Weekly, Scuba Diving, Nature, The Nature Conservancy, and other outlets. [6] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] He has also given various talks about his research and photography in various public seminars, podcasts, and workshops. [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
