Previously, he has been working at IUCN for 17 years, first in West Africa and then at its headquarters in Switzerland within its Species Programme where he was in charge of a number of programmes including global assessments for the Red List of Threatened Species before setting up grant making mechanisms including SOS – Save Our Species. He completed veterinary studies as well as a PhD in ecology and gained a solid field experience working in different parts of the world for 15 years including in French Guiana where he spent 8 years and became familiar with tropical forests. Since his childhood he has been fascinated by nature, in particular wild animals and trees.
