PARTICIPANT WP1/5
ChloƩ Guerbois
ChloƩ has been working in Hwange are since 2008 when she studied the inter-dependences between Hwange National Park and its periphery as part of her PhD. The apparent resistance and resilience of subsistence farmers on the edge of this park inspired her to study the contributions of human-nature relationships to the sustainability of social-ecological systems. She integrated the Sustainability Research Unit of the Nelson Mandela University (South Africa) in 2015 from where she is developing transdisciplinary research projects on conservation and sustainability across southern Africa.
