My career objective is to be involved in an intellectually challenging role that contributes meaningfully to conserving natural resources and promoting sustainable use and rural livelihoods around protected areas. I am a “social ecologist” specializing in how community based natural resource management programmes affect the incentives for conservation.
My area of research interest lies in Conservation Ecology, Natural Resources Management and Use; Policy and Institutional Analysis, Natural Resources Governance Issues (Forestry & Wildlife), Trans frontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs), Climate Change Mitigation.
