Moran Professor of Conservation and Development, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge

Bill Adams works on relations between society and nature, particularly relating to the conservation of wildlife. He is a member of the Political Ecology group which is interested in the evolution of ideas in conservation and resource development, and what happens when they are applied.

Current research topics include

• the conservation of nature in landscapes extensively transformed by human action (the Sahel, urban environments);
• the political ecology of landscape-scale conservation;
• the institutional politics of large-scale ecological restoration
• ecosystems services and the conservation imagination
