Thomas Lundy
Associate Editor
Thomas Lundy is an environmental, science and wildlife journalist and Canadian Geographic’s associate editor.
Originally from Manchester, England, Thomas spent his undergrad years scouring the North Sea’s rocky intertidal zones and writing for student science magazines while studying marine zoology at Newcastle University — a period that cemented his love of both the ocean and journalism. Thomas then took off for Australia, where he spent a year working and travelling vibrant metropolises, bountiful rainforests and spectacular coral reefs. The following years saw him live and work in Japan as an English language teacher and London for science journal Scientific Reports, before he reached his current home of Montreal. Here, he worked for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and studied journalism at Concordia University, all the while eating copious amounts of poutine.
His work for Canadian Geographic includes stories on the fight to create an Inuit Protected and Conserved Area in Nunavut, the threat posed to Ontario by an invasive, mutant, self-cloning crayfish, the unravelling of the genetic secrets of an ancient deep-water fish, and more.
When he isn’t writing about science, wildlife, the environment and travel, he is looking for his next adventure — both above sea level and below.
