³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

I have been working in conservation for the last 12 years, in various volunteer, fundraising and project coordination positions. I have extensive fieldwork experience and have conducted both social and ecological research in countries such as South Africa, Madagascar, Uganda, Poland and Cambodia. I completed a PhD in Conservation Science at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ in 2022.

• PhD: Understanding rule-breaking in conservation
  2019–2022
• MSc: Conservation Science
  Grand Challenges in Ecosystem and the Environment Initiative, Imperial College London, Silwood Park Campus, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7PY, UK alexander.papadopulos@plants.ox.ac.uk., 2014–2015

My research is primarily focussed on understanding rule-breaking and compliance in conservation, with a specific interest in research ethics and law enforcement around protected areas.

During my PhD I investigated the most appropriate methods to elicit robust information about the prevalence of sensitive behaviour in different conservation contexts. I worked as part of a wider project, and undertook fieldwork in and around Protected Areas in Indonesia and Tanzania.

• To develop interventions that provide positive outcomes for both people and nature, conservationists need to better understand human behaviour, particularly the factors that influence compliance. However, research in this area is often hindered by the challenging nature of the topic; people are rarely willing to reveal their involvement, meaning it is difficult to access reliable data. Moreover, conducting research in this area raises a range of ethical and methodological concerns, which if unaddressed can have significant impacts on biodiversity outcomes, as well as human well-being. I’ll provide a broad overview of these challenges, reflect on ways of tackling them, and outline why their consideration can help move conservation research, policy, and practice towards a more socially just, biodiversity positive agenda.

• Urgency to save species from extinction has prompted increased investment in law enforcement in and around protected areas, with considerable conservation resource spent training enforcers and supporting efforts to increase detection, prosecution, and sanctioning. However, relatively little evidence for the effectiveness of these approaches exists, and in recent years, investments in conservation law enforcement have come under increasing scrutiny due to associations with human-right abuses. In response, there has been a shift amongst practitioner organisations, funders, and governments to embed rights-based approaches into protected area governance, with a specific focus on implementing social safe-guards to improve how laws are enforced. To date dominant models of law enforcement have focused on increasing the cost of offending and reducing opportunities for offending to occur. Yet, other models of enforcement highlight that procedural fairness, and the legitimacy of enforcers and the laws themselves, are important but overlooked factors which can influence compliance. This workshop will draw conservation practitioners and academics together to share expertise and explore the need, opportunities, and challenges of reconceptualising how laws are enforced around protected areas.

• Ethical challenges of asking people directly about compliance

  To develop interventions that provide positive outcomes for both people and nature, conservationists need to better understand human behaviour, particularly the factors that influence compliance. However, research in this area is often hindered by the challenging nature of the topic; people are rarely willing to reveal their involvement in illicit acts, meaning it is difficult to collect reliable data. Moreover, conducting research in this area raises a range of ethical and methodological concerns, which if not addressed, can have significant impacts on biodiversity outcomes, as well as human well-being. Here, we provide a broad overview of these challenges and outline how their consideration can help move conservation research, policy, and practice towards more socially just, biodiversity positive agenda.
