Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences - Geography Department

The Conservation and Development Research Group studies social-ecological systems to understand how environmental governance can support both biodiversity conservation and human well-being. We focus on the underlying values and worldviews people have for nature, how their values become embedded in governance structures, and how different governance structures shape outcomes for both people and biodiversity. Our work is interdisciplinary, drawing on sociology, ecology, philosophy, geography, and institutional economics, and uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods.
