BIO
My research area is biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes. My research to date has focused on promoting native biodiversity and understanding human-nature relationships in landscapes heavily used and disturbed by people, primarily cities and agricultural lands. I draw on theories, concepts, and methods from multiple disciplines, including environmental and social psychology, human geography, conservation biology, and restoration ecology, to explore people’s values, relationships with their environment, habits, and actions in order to address interconnected socio-environmental challenges. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow exploring the Integral Health Farming concept, which emphasises the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health, as a pathway towards agroecological transformation of the agri-food system.
