I work as a herpetologist and ecological consultant, and have performed research widely across the Afrotropical region. I maintain a strong connection to the scientific and conservation communities and have contributed to conservation assessments and publications, and species conservation and prioritization workshops.
An initiative led by the Center for Sustainability Transitions (CST) at Stellenbosch University, in partnership with the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and made possible through the JWO research grant.
The development of the BII depends on the input of experts across the continent to adequately represent African biodiversity. The index will be presented in a usable form for decision making. Join our network to get involved or to stay updated as the project progresses.
