I'm a wildlife researcher, mainly working with large carnivores including Eurasian lynx in Norway, leopards in India and jaguars in Brazil. Studying human - wildlife conflicts through multiple discplines is a major part of my work. I'm heavily involved in integrating research results into conservation policy and in disseminating results and their implications to the public. I have a number of communication projects that are exploring different ways of communicating with different publics.
