Research Interest

Intu has a multidisciplinary background (Anthropology and Fine Arts). Her work has focussed on the livelihoods and cultural diversity of indigenous peoples and their natural resource management practices.

She worked with multidisciplinary scientific teams in remote locations in numerous countries in the tropical rainforests region in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Her research focus is on forest dependent people and coastal communities and she gives more attention to the balance between conservation and social, cultural and economic development. She has interests in traditional knowledge, cultural diversity, indigenous people’s rights and conservation.

Her work has been focusing on landscape scenarios discussions and negotiations using Visualization and STELLA Modeling techniques to maximize the involvement of multi-stakeholder groups.

Her goal is to have an influence on global efforts to support indigenous people and communities to improve their livelihoods whilst retaining their cultural identity, diversity, natural assets and traditional knowledge.
