Fifteen years of experience in environmental cooperation programs in several biodiversity hotspots of the world (Galapagos Archipelago Ecuador, Socotra archipelago - Yemen, Protected areas of Albania, Great Limpopo Transfrontier Area - South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea) allowed me to develop deep knowledge about different ecosystems and environmental issues. My main research fields are:
application of spatial models to assess the conservation status of species and habitats
support the management of protected areas,
evaluate the impact of climate change and alien species on ecosystems.
I am also collaborating with national and international working groups aimed at assessing the conservation status of habitats and elaborating effective conservation strategies.
