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...

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...

With a background in social studies, I work for the field of nature protection. Even though nature protection was not a part of my formal education, I have always been close to nature conservation efforts and the promotion of sustainable development. My educational background could also be the reason why I can contribute to LIFE Lynx as much. In the project, I am mostly involved in communication duties and organization of events....
