My research includes: socio-economic impacts of conservation, forestry and land management; environmental justice and governance; land and forest tenure, valuation methods and cost-benefit analysis.

I work closely with the Mitsilo lab on the Mirari project (Mitantana ara-drariny – or Managing Protected Areas Equitably)     

I welcome PhD applicants in any of these areas (please read these guidance notes).

Languages: English, French, Malagasy & Welsh

I welcome research students in the above research areas - please contact me with a CV and some information about your proposed research.

  • Urgency to save species from extinction has prompted increased investment in law enforcement in and around protected areas, with considerable conservation resource spent training enforcers and supporting efforts to increase detection, prosecution, and sanctioning. However, relatively little evidence for the effectiveness of these approaches exists, and in recent years, investments in conservation law enforcement have come under increasing scrutiny due to associations with human-right abuses. In response, there has been a shift amongst practitioner organisations, funders, and governments to embed rights-based approaches into protected area governance, with a specific focus on implementing social safe-guards to improve how laws are enforced. To date dominant models of law enforcement have focused on increasing the cost of offending and reducing opportunities for offending to occur. Yet, other models of enforcement highlight that procedural fairness, and the legitimacy of enforcers and the laws themselves, are important but overlooked factors which can influence compliance. This workshop will draw conservation practitioners and academics together to share expertise and explore the need, opportunities, and challenges of reconceptualising how laws are enforced around protected areas.
