Born and raised in Colorado, though wandering widely thereafter, Paul Robbins has focused his work on the politics surrounding forestry and the wildlife conservation in Rajasthan, India, a place where some of the last wolves of the subcontinent continue to thrive. His recent research has brought him back to the United States and has focused on the abiding passion of Americans for their lawns and the complexities of elk management policy on the settled fringes of Yellowstone Park. He is author of "Political Ecology: A Critical Introduction" (Blackwell, 2004) and "Lawn People: How grasses, weeds, and chemicals make us who we are" (forthcoming).
