Nature and Biodiversity
Why we should invest in natural resources to build a sustainable future
While reducing human-made waste is a must, protecting and sustaining natural resources is equally vital.
Simon’s research focuses on the links between land use, biodiversity and ecosystem services using a combination of natural, social and economic science approaches. Much of his work looks at ways of reconciling the conflicting demands of food production and biodiversity conservation, with research outcomes aimed at developing evidence-based mitigation options for policy and management applications.
