Hello everyone!
I am a senior scientist in #ecology, #biogeography and #conservationbiology interested to support #conservation strategies in #terrestrial and #marine #ecosystems through GIS, ecological modelling and remote sensing.
Website: shorter.me/sJ2SY
Get in touch for collaborations and more!

Felice di annunciare che il 12 novembre, durante M’ammalia – La settimana dei #Mammiferi, presenterò i risultati di 5 anni di ricerche e pubblicazioni sull’ #Orso della Luna in #Pakistan 🐻

Vi aspettiamo numerosi! 🥰

Thrilled to share that my role as Senior Editor for the Journal of Biogeography - Wiley has been renewed for two more years! Over the past two years, we’ve grown submissions by 45% and raised the IF from 3.4 to 3.6 — excited to keep building on this momentum! 😍

Our perspective on 🌊 geoportals has been accepted in Ocean & Coastal Management!

These powerful tools are 🔑 for:
✔️ Smart data mining
✔️ Evidence-based decision-making
Yet, they’re often overlooked. Time to change that!
