About

I am part of a European H2020 project on Innovation and Forest Ecosystem Services where I lead the Swedish Case Study. However, I spend most of my time working on defaunation as a missing piece in forest governance. In this project I study how international and national forest governance takes forest fauna and local hunting into account when designing policies and new conservation programs. I am particularly interested in traditional knowledge around hunting of forest fauna in the Amazon focusing on Colombia and Ecuador. This research is funded through a three-year research grant from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). More recently I also started to work with sustainability and environmental justice in post-conflict societies, particularly focusing on Colombia, as part of an interdisciplinary project at Lund University funded by FORMAS. Other research interests include agroforestry and the use of new agroforestry tree products and how these can support small-scale and local indigenous farmers in maintaining their agroforestry practices for a more sustainable forest management in Latin America.
