PLANNING OF PROTECTED AREAS AND AREA MANAGEMENT
Ecosystem services within community-based forest
Partnered with Warmadewa University and the Yeh Buah community in Bali to conduct an ecosystem services assessment of community-led agroforestry, examining relationships between soil types, crop productivity, and biodiversity.

Development of destination planning, strategic environmental and social assessment for Liuwa Plains NP
In partnership with Wenborn International, the Zambian Ministry of Tourism, and local stakeholders, we contributed to destination planning and the Strategic Environmental Assessment for the newly formed Liuwa National Park in western Zambia. We evaluated opportunities for domestic and international tourism and helped design sustainable approaches, including spatial rotation of wildlife viewing experiences.

Conservation status of mammals and birds in the Imawbun Mountains, Kachin State, Northern Myanmar
Following more than a dozen field surveys conducted by Fauna & Flora International and BANCA in the Imawbun Mountains, we provided support in fundraising, fieldwork planning, and post-survey analysis. We integrated the data into a comprehensive assessment describing conservation potential, biodiversity risks, and management recommendations for the proposed national park.

Assessment of Important Bird Area in the Netherlands Antilles
On the southern Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, we surveyed a distinctive mix of North American, South American, and Caribbean bird species. By assessing restricted-range species and significant bird concentrations, we identified and mapped Important Bird Areas while documenting other critical biodiversity features present on the islands.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG14 Life Below Water) Audit in Zanzibar, Tanzania
In 2026 we were involved in auditing progress made with regards to marine conservation in Zanzibar, based on surveys conducted in the island’s tourist markets in 2002 and 2026. The main recommendations include (1) Integrate local enforcement with national reporting: (2). Target high-traffic tourist hubs for law enforcement and awareness campaigns (3) Make enforcement standard and consistent.
SPECIES CONSERVATION PLANNING
WWF’s Species Action Plan for the conservation of orang-utans in the wild
We prepared WWF’s strategic plan for enhancing its role in orangutan conservation, including a prioritized analysis of key threats, recommended interventions, a programme implementation and coordination framework, and detailed monitoring and evaluation guidelines.

Conservation of the wandering whistling ducks in East Kalimantan
Based on harvest surveys and trader interviews, and working with local fishing communities, we estimated annual duck extraction from three major lakes on Borneo and modelled its ecological consequences for lake systems and fisheries. Follow-up workshops with stakeholders and local authorities led to the introduction of a regulated annual catch quota.

Species action Plan for the Javan Hawk-eagle
Using data from field surveys and consultations with zoos, government agencies, and conservation NGOs, we prepared a prioritized action plan for enhancing the conservation status of a rare forest eagle. The plan identified measurable conservation targets, allocated responsibilities, developed annual workplans, and established mechanisms to direct resources to the highest-priority interventions.

Management of walrus ivory and bones
As part of a decade-long project monitoring the ivory trade in Indonesia, we led research into the "back-and-forth" commercial trade involving the export of raw walrus ivory from the USA to Bali, Indonesia, for carving and subsequent re-export. There is a need to strengthen international enforcement and CITES monitoring between the US and Indonesia to close loopholes that allow commercial exploitation of exceptions intended for Indigenous art..
