Diana Pritchard

Diana Pritchard’s career has focused on the many kinds of knowledge, livelihood practices, and global forces that shape human relationships with the natural world and its resources. She has deep ties to Nicaragua, having lived there for eight years with her children. Diana has worked in research, teaching, training, and policy and project management in six countries for universities, NGOs, and national and multilateral organizations such as United Nations agencies. She draws on analytical tools developed during her degrees in environmental biology and anthropology (University College London) and a doctorate in social policy (from the London School of Economics), to conduct her work at the interface of environmental and social phenomena. Paso Pacífico has given her a golden opportunity ­­to channel her experiences and join a dynamic and eclectic group committed to strengthen local capacities and enhance the quality of lives and protect vulnerable ecosystems.
