Drivers and mechanisms of forest change in the Himalayas

In this paper, we conducted a systematic review of case studies and a causal network analysis to identify, map, and articulate the relationships between the drivers, actors, and mechanisms of forest change across Himalayas.

Two new papers coming soon.

I have two new papers coming out soon. First, about the drivers and mechanisms of forest change in the Himalayas led by a friend and colleague, Akash Verma, to be published in Global Environmental Change; and second, about the conservation required beyond the existing protected area network to improve species and habitat representation in a global biodiversity hotspot led by yours truly to be published in Biological Conservation.

Untangling the proximate causes and underlying drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in Myanmar

In this study, we used a system‐dynamics approach and causal‐network analysis to determine the proximate causes and underlying drivers of forest loss and degradation in Myanmar from 1995 to 2016 and to articulate the linkages among them.
