Prof. Julia P G JONES
Professor of Conservation Sciences, Bangor University
I am a conservation scientist who uses quasi-experimental and experimental approaches to better understand what works and what doesn’t. I have a particular interest in biodiversity offsets and the mitigation hierarchy, Payments for Ecosystem Services, community forest management and protected areas. I focus on both the ecological and the social dimensions of conservation and greatly enjoy working with people, methods and approaches from across disciplinary divides.
I have a strong interest in Madagascar where I have worked, with many Malagasy colleagues, for 20 years on issues around conservation and development.
I lead the Forest4Climate&People project and I am the director of the Low Carbon Energy and Environment Research Network Wales.
