About
Libby Lunstrum serves as a Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Global Studies within the School of Public Service at Boise State University, where she examines critical intersections of environmental policy, social justice, and geopolitical dynamics.
Her research portfolio centers on:
- Biodiversity conservation frameworks and their societal impacts
- Wildlife crime networks and illegal wildlife trade (IWT) enforcement
- Militarization of conservation spaces (green militarization)
- Forced migration due to environmental policies (environmental displacement)
- Indigenous sovereignty in conservation governance
- Border politics shaping ecological management
Lunstrum's political ecology approach critically analyzes power structures in global environmental governance, emphasizing how conservation policies disproportionately affect marginalized communities while exploring community-led alternatives that integrate ecological and social justice imperatives.
