REISSUE APR 2019. Dr. Scott Fisher is the Chief Conservation Officer at the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust. Growing up on Maui, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, later focusing his graduate work on peace studies, with a concentration in native Hawaiian strategies of peacemaking and reconciliation, and the dynamics of post-conflict recovery in a civil war on the island of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. He explored how communities make wise decisions about conflicts over natural resources and continues that work today.
