I worked for almost 15 years for the Cat Specialist Group. For 9 years I served as Red List Authority Coordinator of the group, not only initiating, coordination and submitting Red List Assessments but also providing courses in red listing as certified Red List Trainer. I was heavily involved in the Green Status assessments of cat species including the conduction of online workshops and training courses. Additionally, I mainly assisted in the development of species conservation strategies and national action plans, international species conservation projects (especially related to UN conventions) and helped in developing project proposals. Currently, I am leading the national coordination centre for small mammals and the weasel network in Switzerland.
