My primary research interest is in conservation biology, looking at the relationship between management (conservation responses) and changes in animal populations (State) or threats (Pressures).

The main focus of my PhD work, is addressing how different parameters of protected area management affect biodiversity indicators, to evaluate present conservation strategies and improve future ones. I am especially interested in African protected areas, but also more overall conservation efforts to preserve biodiversity though Strategic Conservation Planning and selection criteria for protected areas. I collaborate with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), Cambridge and Oxford Universities and UNEP-WCMC using the Protected Area Management Effectiveness information module (METT) and the Living Planet Index (LPI).
