Aalayna Green

Aalayna Green (she/her) is a conservation social scientist whose roots are in environmental justice, feminist theory, and community-based conservation management. She is a Cornell Sloan Fellow Graduate School Dean's Scholar.

Her research focuses on the gendered dimensions of militarized conservation. She specifically focuses on the experiences of women around Chobe National Park in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in Southern Africa. Aalayna's research examines the connections between conservation-related violence and gender-based violence as a means to promote gender equity and justice within biodiversity protection.

When she is not working, you can find Aalayna exploring Ithaca trails, drinking too many lattes from Gimme! Coffee, and snuggling with her two cats.
