Research interests

My research focuses on conservation biology in all its forms, risk analysis, and expert judgement and decision-making. We explore the development and deployment of tools, procedures, and guidelines to reach better conservation decisions. Current projects deal with the widening of social inclusion in environmental decision making, and improving methods for the assessment of threatened species and ecosystems. New projects deal with testing methods for eliciting judgements from experts, and developing and testing indices to guide investments that result in nature-positive outcomes.
