His work spans regions including sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, with a long-standing focus on Rwanda.
Adrian’s recent and ongoing research projects include NAVIGATE (2022–2026) on integrating plural values of nature into decision-making, and Environmental Justice Analysis to Advance Rural Landscape Transformations (2020–2024), funded by ESRC. His publications span high-impact journals such as One Earth, Global Environmental Change, and Nature Sustainability, reflecting interdisciplinary reach across social and natural sciences.
His most recent publications highlight trends in environmental justice, particularly in conservation policy, Indigenous rights, rural transformations under climate change, and the ethical dimensions of biodiversity governance. The works emphasize equity, participation, and the need to challenge dominant assumptions in conservation and development.
