About
Jeanine Rhemtulla is an Associate Professor in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences in the Faculty of Forestry. Her research focuses on how to manage and restore multi-functional landscapes to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function while providing for sustainable livelihoods. She takes a spatial approach to these problems, seeking to understand how landscape structure affects ecosystem function, and how a landscape approach can help to reconcile competing goals and interests of multiple stakeholders. She collaborates with academics from many disciplines, with local communities, and NGOs, and is currently working in agro-forested landscapes in Canada and Latin America.
