"It has been my pleasure to work with Dr. Mansourian for more than a decade. Stephanie is a superb communicator, and possesses a deep passion, extensive knowledge, and a wealth of practical experience related to the complex environmental, socio-economic and governance facets of nature conservation and forest landscape restoration in many countries worldwide." Dr. John Parrotta, USDA (current IUFRO President)

My ambition is to apply my extensive experience in environmental issues to contribute to a planet..

...where humans and biodiversity can co-exist today and into the future;
...where landscapes can evolve to be resilient, act as a habitat for small and large creatures, and continue to provide for future generations;
...where environmental priorities are effectively incorporated into decision-making at all levels;
...where knowledge of ecosystems, and their relationships to human societies, continues to improve and is integrated into decision-making;
...where stakeholders at all levels are able to engage in environmental protection, management and restoration.

I strive to use my skills and expertise by working with partners who share my goals.

The Society for Ecological Restoration’s global conference had as its theme this year “Nature and People as One”. It featured some amazing keynote speakers, including Indigenous leaders from Australia, Canada and New Zealand. I learnt a lot and had the opportunity to lead a workshop on the “Human dimensions of restoration”.
