His research spans intensive long-term fieldwork across East Africa (primarily Tanzania), South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and India, focusing on rural resource management, conservation policy impacts, data justice in environmental governance, and the intersection of capitalism with conservation efforts. He frequently conducts 1-2 year immersive studies in remote communities requiring language acquisition and adaptation to austere living conditions.
Notable contributions include seminal books "Fortress Conservation", "Celebrity Advocacy and International Development", "Celebrity and the Environment", "Nature Unbound" (with Rosaleen Duffy and Jim Igoe), and "The Anthropology of Conservation NGOs" (with Peter Billie Larson), reflecting his expertise in NGO sector dynamics and media-celebrity influences on development discourse. With over 150 publications, his work bridges anthropological fieldwork with large-scale NGO analysis.
