About

Rahel Sollmann is a leading voice in wildlife conservation, with a focused expertise in human-wildlife conflict and the ecological impacts of emerging technologies. Her work bridges the gap between technological innovation and animal welfare, most notably through her groundbreaking 2023 study on robotic lawn mowers and European hedgehogs (*Erinaceus europaeus*). This highly cited paper (5 citations) systematically tested the risk these devices pose to declining hedgehog populations, designing a crucial safety test that has already informed public awareness and policy discussions. By quantifying the threat from rapidly expanding consumer technology, Sollmann has provided essential data for mitigating a modern conservation challenge. Her research is characterized by its direct applicability, offering practical solutions to protect vulnerable species in increasingly human-dominated landscapes. Through this work, she has established herself as a key figure in applied conservation science, demonstrating how rigorous empirical testing can shape safer coexistence between wildlife and our daily lives.
