Syed Rahman

My career to date has focused on applied research, environmental conservation and linkages to levering policy influence. I have extensive field research experience in several countries for more than fifteen years (i.e. Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, China, Bangladesh, and India). Based on my science training (PhD in Agricultural Economics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark; PhD in Agroforestry, Bangor University, UK; PhD in Sociology, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh), my main occupational interest lie in directly linking conservation with livelihoods-oriented development. I am also acting as a Regional (subnational) coordinator (South and South-East Asia) for International Working Party on Forest Landscape Ecology—IUFRO, 8.01.02 .
