Research Interests
In the face of a growing human population, I see the use and allocation of renewable resources as an imminent challenge. I am interested in reconciling conservation and sustainable development – how can C&D best be combined into one field of applied research and implemented through policy relevant, reality based ground actions, in order to alleviate poverty and to maintain viable ecosystems? I am interested in socio-ecological systems with a focus on tropical forested and agricultural landscapes, and how such systems respond to global changes such as climatic, economic, or political forces.
