Odirilwe Selomane
I am interested in demonstrating human well-being outcomes linked to nature through indicators and I use already established links between the two. The idea is to show – where possible – the consequences of change in the human wellbeing outcomes on nature outcomes and vice versa using existing data. I also explore the role of disaggregating benefits (costs) and beneficiaries (losers).
My earlier training in agricultural economics (University of Limpopo), environmental economics (Wageningen University) and work at Living Lands around restoration for ecological and societal benefits introduced me to a wide range of complex nature-people interactions.
In the future, I would like to also explore nature-food and nature-health links.
