Ja sam predsjednik Udruge za očuvanje biološke raznolikosti i odgovoran sam za provedbu projekata očuvanja vrsta tijekom pretpristupnih i postpristupnih godina Rumunjske u EU. S te pozicije, upoznao sam se s posebnim zahtjevima različitih izvora financiranja, posvećenih očuvanju bioraznolikosti. Radio sam na projektima očuvanja in-situ koji su uključivali hvatanje, uspavljivanje te postavljanje ogrlica za praćenje smeđeg medvjeda,...

Studentica sam doktorskog studija na Veterinarskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Strast za prirodom i biologijom divljih životinja, definirala je moje profesionalne ciljeve i životne težnje. Kao studentica veterine, uvijek sam tražila priliku za rad s divljim životinjama, ne samo u Hrvatskoj, nego i diljem Europe uz malu pomoć različitih stipendija. Kao rezultat toga, oduševljena sam i ponosna što sam dio LIFE Lynx projektnog tima...

Posao biologa sastoji se od očuvanja prirode te rada sa ljudima i lokalnom zajednicom. Unutar tog konteksta, fokusirao sam svoj profesionalni put na integraciju sociologije i ekologije s naglaskom na očuvanje velikih zvijeri. Trenutno sam znanstveni istraživač u zadruzi koja se bavi očuvanjem sjevernog Stjenjaka te izvanredni član na Sveučilištu u Montani. Također sudjelujem u IUCN-u kao član ekspertnog tima za sprječavanje konflikata...

My affection for animals was first directed towards getting a degree in veterinary medicine and completing a thesis in wolf ecology. As I got more involved in practical conservation in the field, I’ve learned that working with people is the main challenge in nature conservation. Therefore, I focused my graduate...

I have been involved in research and monitoring projects of large carnivores for more than 25 years.

I coordinate the SCALP (Status and Conservation of the Alpine lynx Population), a programme aimed to synchronize the monitoring and conservation activities of lynx in the Alps. I am a member of the IUCN/SSC specialist groups “Cat...

I am a veterinarian specialized in wildlife manipulation as well as non-invasive research of large carnivores. I work as a senior lecturer on Department of wildlife management and nature conservation on Karlovac University of Applied Sciences. Most of my work on lynx is based on recognition of signs of presence and camera trapping, as well as capture, manipulation and telemetry research. I tend to include my students in every part of...

During my student years, I was involved in many activities as a volunteer, including some projects about large carnivores. I am very happy this became part of my work now. I am especially interested in the peoples’ perspective, since I don’t see the question of large carnivores as a question of nature, as much as I see it as a question of society. I love spending time surrounded by nature, often together with my dog, spending time...
