Professor
Biological and Environmental Sciences University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA
I work at the interface between biodiversity and society combining natural and social sciences to improve our understanding of decision making from local to global levels in relation to natural resource use, climate change, people's livelihoods and sustainable development. I also contribute to science policy links on biodiversity through the European Eklipse initiative and the UNEP Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds.

AEWA - Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds
United Nations Environment Programme
https://www.unep-aewa.org/en
I am a member of the Technical Committee (TC) which is a subsidiary body to the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA). TC's main purpose is to provide scientific and technical advice and information to the Meeting of the Parties and, through the Agreement Secretariat, to Parties. AEWA is an intergovernmental treaty dedicated to the conservation of migratory waterbirds and their habitats across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, Greenland and the Canadian Archipelago.
Developed under the framework of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and administered by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), AEWA brings together countries and the wider international conservation community in an effort to establish coordinated conservation and management of migratory waterbirds throughout their entire migratory range.
Eklipse - Bridging the gap between policy and knowledge on biodiversity in Europe
https://eklipse.eu/
Eklipse is a European mechanism for science-policy on biodiversity and has a fourfold approach: 1) Answering questions from decision-makers by synthesising the best available knowledge. 2) Facilitating evidence-based decisions through a transparent, proven, and robust request process. 3) Creating a European network of experts and knowledge holders recognised for their work. 4) Increasing citizen engagement in science-policy interface activities.
Since 2023, I am the Co-Chair of the Knowledge Coordination Body of Eklipse (KCB) which is responsible for selecting together with the Strategic Advisory Board (SAB) the requests Eklipse will process. In close collaboration with the Eklipse Management Body (EMB), its main responsibility is ensuring that requests from policy and other societal actors are answered through the coordination of joint evidence processes. The KCB also coordinates the identification of research priorities and emerging issues and encourages societal engagement. The role of the KCB is to act at the interface between the Expert Working Groups (EWGs), the different governance bodies, as well as with the requesters and possible end-users of Eklipse.
Mentor for Dr Isabel Jones - UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship
https://www.thebeaconproject.net/
The Beacon Project is an interdisciplinary scientific research programme that uses large hydropower development as a model system to investigate trade-offs between different United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Mentor for Dr Isla Hogdson for NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship
http://gotw.nerc.ac.uk/list_full.asp?pcode=NE%2FX001873%2F1
This knowledge exchange fellowship will transfer conflict research to stakeholders involved in the management and governance of Scotland's MPA management network, using the Conservation Conflict Curve (Cusack et al., 2021) as both a diagnostic tool to assess conflict intensity and a conflict management tool to bring stakeholders together and share understanding of conflicts in the area.
Director of Centre for Policy, Conflict and Cooperation Research (CPCCR)
https://www.stir.ac.uk/…erationresearch/
The CPCCR seeks to bring together international and domestic politics and history, environmental management and climate science, policy making and theory, as well as the advancement of professional practice and theoretical developments. We regularly engage with professionals in diplomacy, military, international development, environmental protection and biodiversity conservation and other related areas, both in our teaching and in our research. This Centre is co-hosted by the Division of History and Politics and Biological and Environmental Sciences. At the heart of what our Centre does is the interaction between theory and practice. We explore how conflict and co-operation work in practice and we are keen on developing insights on how our research can help in real-life situations. We are happy to offer our global experiences for consultancy and training sessions to public and private sector clients.
Director of MSc Environmental Management (Conservation)
Our Masters degree will give you a solid grounding in the scientific principles that underpin Environmental Management. We cover topics including the ecological, economic, social, political and legal aspects of environmental management. We give comprehensive training in quantitative, theoretical, analytical and practical skills.
Environmental managers play a vital role in the protection and sustainable use of resources. You’ll learn to address issues such as adaptation to climate change, biodiversity and sustainable energy management. At the local level, Environmental Management focuses on conservation and protection of land and water resources and natural habitats.
You’ll also benefit from employability skills training, a residential field skills course and the chance to carry out an environmental management related dissertation project which may include working collaboratively with a business.
Over the last 5 years (2016-2022), I have led an EU Horizon2020 European Research Council project on "Resolving conflicts between food security and biodiversity conservation under uncertainty (ConFooBio)". These conflicts are increasing in scale and intensity and have been shown to be damaging for both biodiversity and human livelihoods. Uncertainty, for example from climate change, decreases food security, puts further pressure on biodiversity and exacerbates conflicts. In this project we developed management strategies for conflicts between biodiversity conservation and people-livelihoods. We implemented a three-tiered approach: 1) characterise and analyse real-world conservation conflicts impacted by uncertainty; 2) develop games that explicitly incorporate conflicts and uncertainty; and 3) produce and test flexible social-ecological models, applicable to real-world conflicts where stakeholders operate under conditions of extreme uncertainty.
I am currently involved as a mentor in the Beacon project led by Dr Isabel Jones and funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. The Beacon Project is an interdisciplinary scientific research programme that uses large hydropower development as a model system to investigate trade-offs between different United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
