Sally Archibald

Sally Archibald works on understanding the dynamics and biogeography of savanna ecosystems. She engages scientists across the African continent to use their data and knowledge to inform sustainable development. Sally’s research on global fire regimes has provided new tools for managing fire in conservation areas to promote biodiversity, and her work on savanna ecosystem functioning is contributing towards better definitions of degradation in tropical ecosystems. As PI of the Future Ecosystems for Africa program she drives research to identify restoration and conservation interventions in Africa that align with social, biodiversity, and development needs. Sally is on the advisory board of the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires Environment and Society.
