I collaborate with partners and scientists around the world to understand how we can manage forests better. Different people want different things from the world’s forests – biodiversity, climate mitigation, timber, to name but a few. At the same time, forests underpin critical planetary processes, provide key ecosystem system services to billions of people and are facing acclerating pressures from major environmnetal, sectoral – and increasingly also political – changes.

My work seeks to understand how policies and management practices can help navigate trade-offs between competing demands from forests – across different scales and into the future. More broadly, I work collaboratively with economists, climate scientists, and practitioners in pursuit of a cross-cutting objective: to reveal the often hidden impacts of forest degradation.
