Marco Campera

Dr. Marco Campera is a Senior Lecturer in Conservation and Biodiversity at Oxford Brookes University's School of Biological and Medical Sciences. He leads research on sustainable agroforestry systems in Indonesia, focusing on biodiversity conservation, wildlife-friendly farming practices, and primate behavioral ecology. His work involves collaborations with farmer cooperatives, businesses, and local governments across Indonesia, Madagascar, and Costa Rica.

His research examines:

• Wildlife-friendly farming certification impacts on biodiversity
• Primate behavioral ecology and conservation
• Agrochemical alternatives for sustainable agriculture
• Environmental education efficacy
• Wildlife trade dynamics and policy enforcement

Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate strong focus on agroforestry sustainability metrics, wildlife trade patterns, and primate conservation. Research frequently employs field surveys, meta-analyses, and community-based approaches across Indonesian biodiversity hotspots.

He leads the project Community-based wildlife-friendly Fairtrade coffee production (Mohamed Bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, $10,000) and supervises PhD candidate Vinni Jain studying social-ecological dynamics in Indonesian agroforests.
