My research explores the relationship between land-use change, environmental governance, and socio-ecological systems. I investigate how public policies and development interventions shape human-environment interactions, examining ecological dynamics, resource management, and community livelihoods. My work bridges political ecology and land system science to understand socio-environmental change across diverse landscapes.
