About “Natasha Pauli”

I am a geographer with a particular interest in understanding human-environment interactions in the management of biological resources. Some of my broad research interests include local knowledge and use of biological and environmental resources for livelihoods and ecosystem management, ecosystem services in mosaic landscapes (including smallholder agriculture, broadacre agriculture, and spatially diverse urban landscapes), and the interactions between natural and social systems in environmental management and planning. Prior to joining UWA, I worked in a variety of situations including as an environmental scientist with a consultant firm in Perth, as an environmental officer with the WA state government Department of Water, and with the Zoological Society of London in international conservation policy. I’ve been fortunate to gain field experience in range of ecosystem, cultures and environments including locations in Honduras, Colombia, Timor-Leste, Fiji and Australia.
