Emeritus chair IUCN SSC Cat Specialist Group

My professional background is ornithology, mammology, running water ecology, and genetics. I am currently involved in research projects on ecology and genetics of the Eurasian lynx, looking at population genetics of reintroduced populations. Through these projects, I gained experience in molecular methods, GIS, web design and desktop publishing, which are important resources for our work as co-chairs of the Cat SG.
