| I am a highly motivated and inquisitive biologist with a PhD in ecology. I am passionate with issues related to ecology, nature and environment. Currently my interests are biodiversity loss, ecosystem restoration (especially forests and semi-natural grasslands), ecological interactions, conservation biology, urban ecology and development, host-parasite interactions and insect ecology (especially damselflies & dragonflies). I am particularly fond of international projects and collaborations that deal with nature protection and ecosystem/biodiversity loss.
