Description
I was born in Argentina, where I graduated in zoology in 1984 from the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, and obtained my DPhil from Oxford University in 1994 on the behavioural ecology of the Ethiopian wolf. This lead to the establishment of the ongoing Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme in 1995.
I joined WildCRU in 1988, and am currently responsible for its overseas projects, with an emphasis on logistics and safety to ensure our graduates and staff deliver good research and conservation practice.
My academic interests are conservation biology and the behavioural ecology of carnivores, particularly the biology and conservation of wild Canids. For the last twenty years I have been involved in the conservation of threatened species, protected areas management, and wildlife surveys - work that has spanned four continents and numerous countries. In 1998 I received the Whitley Award for Animal Conservation from the Royal Geographical Society for my work in Ethiopia.
