Career Trajectory
Bio
Dr. Amanda Stronza is an anthropologist, professor, and photographer, with nearly 30 years of conservation field experience in the Amazon and other parts of the tropics, most recently in the Okavango. She is passionate about wildlife and the people who live closest to wild animals all over the world. In 2007, she co-founded the Applied Biodiversity Science Program at Texas A&M University, a doctoral training program for students in the social and biological sciences committed to working with local communities and policy makers to solve on-the-ground conservation challenges. As part of that, she developed an Amazon Field School in her long-term study site in Peru, aimed at helping graduate students gain field experience in conservation. She was a Visiting Professor with the Okavango Research Institute in 2011 when she began research on human-elephant conflict. In 2013, she co-founded Ecoexist, a non-profit organization in Botswana, focused on fostering coexistence between people and elephants. She has published over 35 scholarly articles and book chapters on community-based conservation, ecotourism, and common pool resource management, co-edited the book, Conservation and Ecotourism in the Americas: Putting Good Intentions to Work, and co-produced two documentary films, Amazon Exchange: Effects of Ecotourism on Indigenous Culture, and Ecoexist: Pathways to Coexistence. Much of her work centers around this question: What are the incentives and sources of inspiration for people to work together in protecting what they value, whether it be a place, a species, a cultural tradition, or a way of life?
