Conservation & restoration economics, strategy and financing
We undertake studies to understand environmental problems and to devise strategies to address them. These include studies of community conservation initiatives and the design of incentive mechanisms such as payments for ecosystem services and certification programmes and studies relating to the financing and roll out of ecosystem restoration, including water and conservation funds. This work includes carrying out surveys, behavioural experiments, choice experiments and financial modelling in conjunction with biophysical modelling.
