Title of the talk: Public views on biodiversity - the construction of attitudes towards biodiversity management (pdf: 3MB)
Biosketch
I am particularly interested in the links between environmental economics and psychology: What do people value about nature? Why? How do these values and attitudes change?
One of my interests is also the governance of natural resources: What are the incentives that guide people’s behaviour? How do institutions change and do they foster sustainable re-source management? What are people’s views about how natural resources should be governed?
I am currently working as a researcher at the Macaulay Land Use Institute, Aberdeen, Scotland, in the Socio-Economic Research Programme on the valuation of and public attitudes to biodiversity. http://www.macaulay.ac.uk/serp/index.html
One of my main activities is the coordination of the workpackage on “public attitudes to biodiversity changes” of the ALTER-Net Network of Excellence. http://www.alter-net.info/
