My friend Fiona (Flo) Evans, who has died aged 65 of heart failure, was an ecologist involved in helping to establish Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) across Meirionnydd in north Wales.

Her career in the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC) was spent working with landowners, farmers and planners to conserve fragile ecosystems. She loved to debate and was a passionate advocate for nature as well as an expert witness in conservation prosecutions.
