Silvia Schrötter is a PhD student within the MONSOON Project in which she investigates the diversity of land use systems and their changes in the face of climate change in Ghana and South India. Silvia is passionate about incorporating the human dimension into nature conservation and climate change research. In tropical regions natural ecosystems and humans are particularly vulnerable, wherefore she is aiming at contributing to withstand upcoming challenges, in order to secure the stability and adaptability of ecosystems and societies.
