I am an ecologist and biogeographer working to support evidence based solutions to key challenges in landscape management and biodiversity conservation through policy, regulation, and market-based incentives. Before joining ANU I worked for many years in the Queensland Government developing and applying biodiversity information to policy and regulation, and facilitating environmental benefits from the emerging carbon market. While at the LRF I lead the development of a standard to verify co-benefits from carbon projects, and helped to establish Accounting for Nature. Since joining ANU my work has focussed on design, and support for delivery, of Australian Government pilot programs for biodiversity stewardship in Australia’s agricultural landscapes, including ongoing development of the National Stewardship Trading Platform.
