Sarnen

Patrick O. Waeber is a free agent researcher working on environmental governance where systems start to break, from forest frontiers to wildlife trade and war affected landscapes. His research examines how institutions function under pressure, and where they fail: from CITES and transnational wildlife trafficking to socio- and ecological damage in armed conflict. He combines qualitative and mixed approaches to trace how environmental harm becomes, or fails to become, visible, actionable, and governable. Based in Sarnen, Switzerland.
