Our staff have extensive local and international connections and welcome contact from potential students and collaborators.
Our research strengths
While our research topics are broad and varied, we have three areas where we have significant depth and skill. These areas do not have solid boundaries and there is a significant overlap amongst our research staff, with many aligned to multiple areas.

Nigerian Montane Forest Project
10 June 2026
For over twenty years the Project has combined scientific research with education at tertiary and local community levels to conserve a rare Nigerian afromontane forest reserve. This work has enabled us to develop a model for long-term sustainable management of forests involving local communities, which is applicable across the world. Learn more about this Project and get involved.
