I primarily work on understanding different attitudes towards conservation strategies, with a particular focus on rewilding. I am particularly looking at how different value orientations and value perspectives of nature, coupled with beliefs about the outcomes of conservation strategies, can shape attitudes. I am also exploring the interplay between socioecological contextual factors and attitudes towards conservation strategies.
I am interested in understanding and highlighting the plurality of perspectives on the value of nature and human-nature relatonships, and in finding ways to protect and restore nature which recognises this plurality. I am also interested in how to foster greater human-nature connectedness and pro-environmental policies and behaviours.
