BII expert in: Small carnivores

I am a wildlife biologist specializing in carnivores. My research on small African carnivores has previously focused on spatial distribution, habitat use, and activity patterns. Future research interests include in-depth studies of behavioral ecology, biogeography, and speciation in Viverrids e.g., Genetta. My work on large African carnivores includes behavioral ecology, population genetics, management, and conservation.

Management efforts are focused on identifying and quantifying the potential impacts of human activities on carnivores, and the development of management tools that allow for sustainable utilization while ensuring long-term viability of wild carnivore populations.
