Biosketch
My research focuses mainly on biodiversity policy, from its development to its implementation, including associated conflicts. Within this context, I am interested in understanding public attitudes towards biodiversity, including views on biodiversity management, conservation measures and the values associated with biodiversity through the use of qualitative and quantitative methods. I am also interested in understanding the barriers to effective communication of science to the public and policy-makers and the role of interfaces between policy-makers and scientists. Additionally, I have worked on projects addressing conflicts between biodiversity conservation and other human activities. I am currently working on a project that aims to determine the extent to which democratic processes at the ground level contribute to the desired biodiversity outcomes of the Habitats Directive.
