Research

As well as a general interest in many aspects of conservation science I am especially interested in improving the processes by which decisions are made. This has involved horizon scanning to identify future issues to reduce the surprises of future developments. My main work has been the industrial-scale collation of evidence to determine which interventions are effective and which are not and then establishing processes for embedding evidence in decision making.  I am also interested in the processes of decision making as this is often so clearly flawed.
