In 2018, I researched for PWN about the wolf (Canis lupus). In December 2018 we inaugurated in the Visitor Center De Kennemerduinen an informative exposition about the ecology of the carnivore and its return to the Netherlands. For this project, I curated the scientific contents and I collaborated with the educational department in PWN in order to display.

• My collaboration with PWN started within the Research Project 'European Bison in Kraansvlak', where:
• I wrote for the company the report “PWN and 10 years of European bison in the Kraansvlak Nature Area: New possibilities for the vulnerable species.” In this report:
• I describe the innovative management behind the project led by PWN
• I analyze the data collected in 10 years and I reviewed the scientific research carried out by the (international) students who worked for the project
• I collaborated in writing an article about the European bison in Kraansvlak (In Dutch: https://duinbehoud.nl/10-jaar-wisenten-in-het-kraansvlak/)
• I carried out a research on the foraging ecology of the European bison in the dunes of Kraansvlak area (NL). At the moment, I am contributing -when necessary- to the animals management. I have experience in field work.
