Research conducted by Binbin Li and colleagues at Duke Kunshan’s Environmental Research Center has shed light on the effects of a rapid increase in livestock grazing across forested areas globally.

Published in the scientific journal Global Change Biology, on July 29, their study revealed a complex but generally negative picture of the impacts. It could contribute to forest conservation efforts and policies, and provide a scientific basis for future planning of sustainable livestock grazing.

Duke Kunshan student Eric Qu is just two years into his degree but has already published a paper in a major academic journal as the first author.

As a boy, Sze Chai Kwok would spend hours exploring the woods and beaches near his childhood home in Hong Kong’s Clear Water Bay, watching the various wildlife hunt, eat and fight. Later, as a Ph.D. student in the U.K., he’d stroll London’s cosmopolitan streets, observing with equal fascination the throng of commuters, traders and tourists.
