I am an experienced biologist with a Ph.D in Zoology, currently Marie Curie Individual Fellow at Manchester Metropolitan University-UK, associate editor of the important journal Global Ecology and Conservation and consultant for CIFOR-Indonesia. My research interests are in hunting and wildlife trade, the impact of roads and the oil industry on mammals, and community wildlife management in tropical environments.
