One of the main focuses of my research is the biology of conservation. I am currently collaborating with management teams in different natural areas of Catalonia with the aim of improving the conservation of endangered or protected species of flora and fauna.I investigate the effects of different types of forest management and disturbances such as drought and fires on the composition, structure and functioning of forest ecosystems. I also coordinate and participate in different types of initiatives related to education for gender equality, transdisciplinarity, social and environmental justice, sustainability, science, green education and nonviolent conflict resolution.
