Ana Nuno

Interdisciplinary Conservation Researcher & Consultant

Consultancy

I have over 15 years of experience in biodiversity conservation and social dimensions of natural resource use and management, developing applied research with stakeholder engagement for resilient interventions. Key expertise includes integration of social and ecological information for informing management and policy decisions.

Working across academic and consultancy sectors, I conduct highly applied interdisciplinary research, working in collaboration with researchers from world-class research institutions and international NGOs, as well as governmental agencies, local communities and regional environmental and development NGOs. Since February 2019, I have led, or collaborated in, consultancy work related to project design, implementation and monitoring in, for example, marine protected areas, ecosystem-based approaches, stakeholder engagement and social dimensions of resource use.

Examples of clients: BirdLife International, Fauna & Flora, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Oikos - Cooperation and Development, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
