I am a dedicated anthropologist and wildlife enthusiast, holding a Master's degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology from Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany. After many years of working in marketing, project management and knowledge management for global companies, I decided to dedicate myself to anthropology and conservation, subjects that have been my passion since childhood. I am particularly interested in researching how conservation education can contribute to reconciling the interests of nature conservation and people, mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, and enabling sustainable resource use. During my fieldwork in Uganda, I had the privilege of working with numerous grassroots organizations and dedicated local conservationists across various regions. 

For me, conservation begins with people. I strongly believe that successful conservation strategies require a holistic, interdisciplinary approach that prioritizes the perspectives and needs of local communities. Understanding the cultural dimension of the human–environmental relationship and integrating indigenous knowledge are key factors in the success of conservation programs, an area in which anthropology can make a significant contribution.
