Valentina Barbuto Email & Phone Number

Valentina Barbuto is a Policy Officer - DG SANTE at European Commission. Colleagues describe her as "Valentina is an outstanding and dedicated legal researcher and quickly became a key member of the in-country research team supporting the IDLO program to document country experiences with leading protected area legislation. Valentina took the initiative and challenge to investigate the on-the-ground implementation of Denmark's Protection of Nature Act. This effort required reaching out to contacts outside of her own country, conducting interviews, and drafting a brief on the lessons learned and remaining challenges in implementation. She has also taken on broader responsibilities to support the overall research program, and consistently delivers quality work. I would gladly work with Valentina again, it has been a pleasure." and "Ms. Barbuto collaborated with IDLO’s Initiative on Legal Preparedness on Achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. As part of the Research Team for the Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 (Protected Areas), Ms. Barbuto did an excellent job in drafting a legal brief documenting Denmark’s Nature Protection Act (1992). Additionally, Ms. Barbuto actively participated in all IDLO Webinars on Legal Aspects of the Aichi Target 11. Personally, it has been a pleasure working with Ms. Barbuto, and I am sure she has a great future ahead."
