Profile bio
About Wil De Jong
Since my childhood, growing up in rural settings in Holland, I have been fascinated by people’s intrinsic links to their natural environment. This led me to study forestry at Wageningen Agricultural University and Research Center. After a brief stint of research in Holland, I moved to the tropics in 1982 to explore the cultural and economic dimensions of tropical forests in people’s lives and societies. I lived and worked in Peru for seven years, and spent four years at the New York Botanical Garden, finishing my Ph.D. and enjoying New York City. In 1995 I relocated to Indonesia, where I lived for 12 years, nine of which working with CIFOR. Since that time I undertake comparative research simultaneously in different countries, usually in more than one continent. I have had the privilege to work in Peru, Bolivia, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. In recent years, I have returned to my original stomping grounds Peru where I conduct research on tropical forest governance and policies. But I also maintain a keen interest in smallholder and community forestry and tropical forest transition.
Listed skills include Forestry, Rural Development, Ecosystem Services, Field Work, and 16 others.
