Biography
Jaboury Ghazoul received his PhD in 1993 from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, on the evolutionary ecology of social behaviour of sphecid wasps, under the supervision of Prof. Pat Willmer. Thereafter he spent a year in Vietnam (1993-1994) leading biodiversity survey work with the Vietnamese Ministry of Forestry. He returned to London to work as a postdoc at the Natural History Museum (1995-1998) from where he ran a CIFOR research project addressing the impacts of logging on dipterocarp tree reproduction in Thailand. He was appointed Lecturer in Tropical Forest Ecology at Imperial College London in 1998, and Senior Lecturer from 2003. At Imperial he developed both basic and applied research in ecology and environment at locations throughout the tropics. He was appointed Professor of Ecosystem Management at ETH Zurich in October 2005. Since July 2015, he holds the Prince Bernhard Chair of International Nature Conservation, at Utrecht University, a position that is sponsored by WWF Netherlands. Prof. Jaboury Ghazoul Jaboury has been Editor-in-Chief of the journal Biotropica from 2006 to 2013, and in 2015 he is the President of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC).
Research Interest
His main research interests are pollination ecology and plant reproduction, ecosystem services in agroforestry systems, and conservation ecology of tropical trees in landscape mosaics. His wider interests include geology, marine biology, political history, walking aimlessly in the Scottish Highlands and, above all, family.
