I am looking for a project to join
road ecology, agroecology, wildlife research, connectivity, human-wildlife conflict

As a potential partner, I will bring expertise in road ecology as I have 15+ years of experience studying wildlife-vehicle collisions, monitoring wildlife passages and GPS tracking of wild ungulates as well as conceptualizing and defining multifaceted aspects within the discipline.
We as a team in Agroecology Unit are eager to contribute in agri-environmental research, focusing on monitoring and analysing pollinators and farmland birds indices as well as different practices of regenerative agriculture.

We are seeking opportunity to join an interdisciplinary project on road ecology, agroecology or human–wildlife coexistence. As a potential partner, we can bring expertise in road ecology as we have 15+ years of experience studying wildlife-vehicle collisions, monitoring wildlife passages and GPS tracking of wild ungulates. We would be eager to contribute in agroecology, focusing on monitoring and analysing pollinators and farmland birds indices as well as different practices of regenerative agriculture. We are interested how to enhance land-use efficiency through multifunctional agriculture (e.g., agrivoltaics, co-locating horticulture or livestock grazing with solar farms), and how the diversified agroecosystems provide yield stability and economic resilience against climate-induced shocks. We also have experience in surveying farmers to assess their awareness and views, and in involving them into projects.
