Associate Professor

Antwerp University

Chair
I have been an active member of the ALWG since 2007 and of IUCN since 1990 as Chair IUCN NL, IUCN Council and IUCN Steering Committee. I am also a member of the IUCN Cat specilaist group and Canid specialist group. I am an associate professor at Leiden University and a guest professor at Antwerp University and Chair of the Leo Foundation.

Since 1990 I have been involved in research of large cats with a special focus on the lion in West and Central Africa and Asia. I supervise PhD and MSc students in West Africa, in Central Africa and in East Africa. My research focus is on lion-livestock conflicts and lion genetics.
