Born in 1967. I studied forestry sciences, but I soon abandoned forestry to devote myself to research, management and conservation of wildlife. I have been involved in the management of ungulates and for over 30 years I have been dealing with large carnivors, specializing in the brown bear and Eurasian lynx. I am a founding member and technical-scientific coordinator of the Progetto Lince Italia, a member of the IUCN / SSC Cat Specialist Group, the SCALP and KORA. I am operating as a scientific consultant for wildlife management for the Carabinieri Forestali. Together with some colleagues I was the promoter of the WISO platform of the Alpine Convention of which I was secretary for 6 years. I am currently also a member of the Italian delegation of the Ministry of the Environment. I have collaborated on numerous naturalistic documentaries and I am the author of several books. I’m a passionate hunter.
