My research focuses on understanding threats to biodiversity and assessing the impact of conservation interventions and in particular how resources, management, governance, and socioeconomic context influence the effectiveness and performance of protected areas. I primarily address this through a global lens, utilizing a large global dataset from conservation organizations, research institutions as well as from remote-sensing sources to develop correlative models of what predicts conservation success, when possible through the use of quasi-experimental methods and setups.
