Role in WeValue team

Dr Chike Ebido was a PhD student in Professor Mari’s team from 2018 to 2022. His work was focused on the valuation of the of the benefits of ecosystem services especially cultural benefits. His work specifically employed the use of a grounded, ethnographic approach – the WeValue insitu, to elicit authentic values of ecosystem services as expressed by members of a community. His work opens up further possibilities for the re-evaluation and development of a grounded framework for the assessment of nature and its benefits. Dr Ebido was also involved in the UKRI GCRF Action against Stunting Hub as a facilitator where he worked with several groups in Senegal. He continues to collaborate with the team in ongoing research on shared values of groups and its applications in nature and environmental governance.
