Matt Struebig. Reader in Conservation Science, University of Kent
Dr Matthew Struebig is a conservation scientist interested in the impacts of environmental change on tropical biodiversity and the implications this has for landscape management and conservation. Initially trained as an animal ecologist, much of his work is based in the modified habitats of Southeast Asia and is applied to the conservation of tropical wildlife. More recently he has begun to explore important trade-offs in conservation, working on interdisciplinary projects with colleagues in the social and earth sciences.
Matt joined DICE in 2010, initially as a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellow. He now leads the Tropical Defaunation Hub, launched in 2020 with a ~£1 million investment from the Leverhulme Trust to study the socio-ecological drivers of wildlife population change in Indonesia. The interdisciplinary team comprises specialists in biodiversity, spatial statistics, remote sensing and poverty assessment.
Dr Matthew Struebig is a member of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology.
