Research interests

Bruce is Programme Director of the global Forests and Livelihoods programme with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, Indonesia. CIFOR's purpose is to "advance human well-being, environmental conservation, and equity by conducting research to inform policies and practices that affect forests in developing countries."

The Forests and Livelihoods programme is an action research group which has 17 internationally recruited scientists operating from 8 countries in 39 projects with numerous partners, and an annual budget of US$3 million. The group includes anthropologists, sociologists, macro- and micro-economists, ecologists, foresters and geographers.

Current projects

Bruce's focus is on achieving better outcomes for conservation and development and improving the well-being of people through natural resource management and use. He works in the tropics on four continents – from humid rainforests to dry woodlands. He is interested in interdisciplinary and collaborative research and is currently working with CDU on the following range of projects:

• Integrated scenario planning across shared landscapes: A territory-wide approach
• Natural resource management and enterprise development: can they improve Indigenous livelihoods?
• Developing Techniques for Measuring the Performance of Conservation and Development Programs
• Bamboo-based development and poverty alleviation in Guangxi Province, China
• Analysis of legislation and policies affecting the development of Indigenous wildlife-based enterprises
• Monitoring and Evaluation of Joint management in the Northern Territory
• Economic benefits of Indigenous natural resource management
