Biography
Employed as associate professor at the Department of Biology at Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), where he is giving classes on animal ecology. Occasionally he is also teaching at Univeristy of Oxford (U.K.), University of Port (Portugal), University of Maribor and University of Primorska (Slovenia). He is also working as a visiting researcher at Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW, Germany) and CIBIO/InBio (Portugal), as well as serving for the IUCN Species Survival Commission (Cat Specialist group, Canid SG, Bear SG and the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe). His research focus is on large carnivore ecology, management and conservation in Europe, Africa and Asia with most studies dedicated to Eurasian lynx, brown bear, grey wolf, African big cats, snow leopard, and jackals, and to a lesser degree to wild ungulates, ravens, raptors, and lizards.
