A key theme in Vanessa's research is applying economic concepts and social consultation to make on-ground conservation action more effective and equitable between groups of stakeholders. Her research explores how to plan for development and conservation goals conjointly with a focus on how new market mechanisms, such as carbon offsets, may be leveraged for dual objectives such as livelihood provisioning and biodiversity conservation.
