Md. Enamul Kabir has been a faculty member for more than 25 years in Khulna University a Bangladesh’s public university (currently a Professor since September 2009). He conducted his postgraduate studies (MSc and PhD) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand. His PhD fieldwork entailed complete botanical surveys of more than 400 homegardens in SW Bangladesh, making it one of the most extensive—if not the most—homegarden surveys in existence. He has established an international reputation in agroforestry sciences, with particular expertise in homegardens. He has published a number of solid papers in international peer reviewed journals and also served as a reviewer for several international peer reviewed journals. He has significant experience with fieldwork and novel, crosscutting analytical research protocols and has participated in forest dynamic studies in the South Pacific islands of American Samoa, Thailand, and Bangladesh. He has has been trained in the International Forestry Resources and Institutions (IFRI) research protocol (www.umich.edu/~ifri), which is a global, interdisciplinary research programme combining several integrated research tools that are founded on extensive institutional theory on Common Pool Resources (CPR) management.
2007 Doctor
of Philosophy in Natural Resources Management from the Asian Institute of
Technology, Thailand.
2001 Master of Science in Natural Resources
Management from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand.
1997 Bachelor of Science (honors) in Forestry and
Wood Technology from Khulna University, Bangladesh.
1991 Higher Secondary Certificate in Science from Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, Jessore, Bangladesh.
1989 Secondary School Certificate in Science from Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, Jessore, Bangladesh.
