Doktorand sam na Agronomskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. 2011. godine započela sam svoje znanstveno putovanje i istraživanje s fotozamkama za praćenje divljih životinja. Kao aktivnoj lovkinji, veliko mi je zadovoljstvo svojim znanjem doprinijeti očuvanju risa, karizmatične i zagonetne vrste na našim prostorima. Svaki slobodan trenutak provodim u prirodi; to je za mene način života. Rad u Udruzi Biom i predavanje na Veleučilištu u...

Radim u udruzi BIOM, u podružnici u Sinju, Dalmacija, Hrvatska. Od proljeća 2020. godine radim na različitim projektima s različitim zanimljivim aktivnostima kao što su praćenje brojnosti pčela, obnove travnjaka, obnove lokvi i bunara itd. Porijeklom “ravničar” iz istočne Hrvatske, zaljubio sam se u hrvatske planine i započeo terenski rad na LifeLynxu u zimu 2020. Od tada željno iščekujem svaku priliku za provjerom starih...

Through my studies of Biology Education and Ecology and Biodiversity I realized, that these two areas are strongly connected to each other. Public education about ecology and biology is an important factor for establishing positive attitudes towards large carnivores. Therefore, I am very excited to be involved in the LIFE Lynx project and that I can contribute to the conservation of the Eurasian lynx with different educational content...

I am a biologist with a great interest in animal ecology and behaviour. My work focused primarily on large mammals (herbivores and carnivores) up to now, since the days I was gathering field experience as a volunteer in various research groups across Europe. I am proud to be part of an enthusiastic and professional research team during such an important nature conservation step as saving this lynx population is. I am happiest when...

My professional path first took me to limnology and freshwater benthic invertebrates. After 10 years my path turned and I joined large carnivore group at Slovenia Forest Service to work on large carnivore communication. It gives me great joy, to work in a group, where I can contribute with my positive energy, resourcefulness and creativity. Lynx conservation is of great importance and I am delighted to have the opportunity to...

I am a law graduate by education. I come from the western part of Slovenia, from the Posočje region. Nature has always been very close to me and I devote most of my free time to nature activities, especially hunting. My role in the LIFE Lynx project is related to field work, lynx monitoring, communication with hunters, and performing a variety of administrative and legal work. I have great pleasure in working on the project, as I have...

I’m a biologist, actively involved in the field of large carnivores for the last 10 years. First I started as a volunteer, later on as an employee on Slovenia Forest Service. Since 2014, I have been working at SFS in the field of conflict mitigation between people and large carnivores, mostly with damage prevention measures. I always try to understand the challenges of people living in areas of large carnivore presence. I live...

I am most interested in studying animals, especially large carnivores. I have been studying Eurasian lynx for several years, and I have written about it in my diploma thesis (BSc) and more recently in my master’s thesis (MSc). From a young age, I like to...

I am a wildlife biologist and researcher in conservation genetics and ecology. My recent studies include genomic analyses of wild species and domestic populations at risk in Europe and Canada, including bison, cattle, dogs, and wolves. I am interested in contemporary evolution resulting from human activities, and how we can best preserve wild species and their habitats in the face of rapid environmental change. I have a strong...
