Research interests

Stephen Garnett is an environmental scientist with an interest in the knowledge needed to live sustainably in the tropics. Educated at the Australian National University and James Cook University, he has spent most of the last 30 years in the Australian tropics, primarily in private enterprise and government. He joined the staff of Charles Darwin University in May 2004 as Professor of Tropical Knowledge and became Director of the School for Environmental Research in 2007.

Professor Garnett is recognised nationally and internationally for research on conservation management, particularly of threatened species. He has more recently become involved in a range of research related to the knowledge economy in tropical Australia, including how to increase Indigenous involvement in the economy, how to attract and retain knowledge workers in the tropics  and how to pool knowledge resources to increase economic productivity. Stephen is interested in the application of tropical knowledge for the purpose of improving livelihoods and conservation outcomes. His research interests within the School for Environmental Research include:

• Facilitation of Indigenous wildlife-based businesses

• Natural resource management, including biodiversity conservation, and the opportunities this provides for livelihoods and enterprise development, and

• Threatened species conservation, ecology, management and economics.

Current projects

• Analysis of legislation and policies affecting the development of Indigenous wildlife-based enterprises

• Climate Change Adaptation Networks
• Conservation management of seed-eating birds in the tropical savannas

• Does monitorng and evaluation improve joint management? The case of national parks in the Northern Territory

• Global and Australian bird extinction rates

• Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of Australian threatened bird conservation

Recently completed research

• Analysis of NT legislation for the protection of threatened species
• An assessment of sustainabilty in northern Australia using the ecological footprint with reference to Indigenous populations and remoteness
• Dambimangari social impact assessment
• Development of a carbon map across the Top End of the NT
• Economic analysis of fire management on Cape York Peninsula
• Family-based business governance structures
• Feasibility study for north Queensland tropical birding trails
• Fostering collaborative regional development in bio-industries

• Integrated scenario planning across shared landscapes: A territory-wide approach

• Mobility of health professionals in remote Indigenous communities
• NT Government climate change strategy
• Review of regulations and legislation regarding feral camel management
