Congratulations to Heri Andrianandrasana
May 11, 2017
We are delighted and proud to announce that this week Heri Andrianandrasana passed his DPhil viva with flying colours. His thesis examines the effectiveness of community-based conservation schemes in Madagascar for preserving biodiversity, protecting ecosystem services and improving human well-being. As part of his award winning DPhil work, he ran the largest programme of village-based monitoring in Madagascar involving 461 local monitors from 81 villages across five conservation areas. His conclusions have important implications for conservation approaches across Madagascar, and around the world. Heri is also the first student from Madagascar to complete a DPhil at the University of Oxford.
