Linus Munishi is an Associate Professor in Landscape and Conservation Ecology within the School of Life Sciences and Bio-Engineering at The Nelson Mandela-African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST), Arusha. His core training is on Ecology and Conservation Biology and he has conducted research work in different ecosystems in many countries including South Africa, UK, USA, Australia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. Currently, his research work is mainly on developing sustainable solutions to challenges facing degraded rangelands using Nature-based Approach with particular focus on protected and conserved area. He has developed capacity in interdisciplinary research development whose output is very much influencing policy and practice locally, nationally and internationally. One such piece of his work output has developed nature-based solutions for managing invasive species in critical ecosystems. This nature-based invasive species management solutions have been the first evidence-based initiatives to be tested in protected (Ngorongoro Conservation) areas in Tanzania and their benefits among others are to control invasive species while restoring the invaded areas in order to improve ecosystem services and sustainable community livelihoods.

He saves as a reviewer and Co-editor in many journals hosted by Elsevier and Wiley Publishers including Mammal Review, Conservation Science and Practice, Global Ecology and Conservation, Journal of Vegetation Science.
