Biography

Starting as a biologist with a strong interest in wildlife conservation, throughout my professional career I have developed a multidisciplinary background including land use modelling, policy impact assessment and human community development. My current research interest is in integrating the conservation of natural capital with socio-economic development in developing countries, particularly in the context of climate change effects and mitigation policies.
