Dr Tendai Nzuma

Research interest

My career objective is to be involved in an intellectually challenging role that contributes meaningfully to conserving natural resources and promoting sustainable use and rural livelihoods around protected areas. I am a “social ecologist” specializing in how community based natural resource management programmes affect the incentives for conservation.

My area of research interest lies in Conservation Ecology, Natural Resources Management and Use; Policy and Institutional Analysis, Natural Resources Governance Issues (Forestry & Wildlife), Trans frontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs), Climate Change Mitigation.
