Biography
I completed an integrated Master's at the University of Sheffield (2014-18) under Professor David Edwards, focused on how post-logging interventions can be used to restore multiple values in selectively logged landscapes. My Master's project focused on the effects of vine-cutting and enrichment planting on dung beetle recovery in heavily logged forests in Borneo. I came to Cambridge to further explore the potential for forest restoration to deliver benefits to people and widlife. My project supervisors are Professor Andrew Balmford, and David Edwards (co-supervisor) and I am studying under the Peter Scott Studentship.
Research
I am interested in the conservation outcomes of different forest restoration approaches. I am also interested in how we can meet growing timber demands at least cost to biodiversity.
