Balmford, Andrew - University of Cambridge

个人简介

After ten years as an undergraduate, PhD student and research fellow in Cambridge, I was a research fellow at the Institute of Zoology in London, and then a lecturer at the University of Sheffield. In 1998 I returned to Cambridge's Zoology Department, where I teach conservation science, and help run the Conservation Science Group.

研究领域

My research focuses on the costs and benefits of conservation, how best to reconcile conservation and farming, the reasons why nature is being lost, and examining what works in conservation. I tackle these issues through fieldwork, analyses of large databases, and modeling, and by working wherever possible with colleagues in other disciplines and with conservation practitioners. I co-founded the Cambridge Conservation Forum; am closely involved in the Cambridge Conservation Initiative; and with Rhys Green, Rosie Trevelyan and Shireen Green run the annual Student Conference on Conservation Science.
