My name is Ignasi Fernández Cabello and I am from Tarragona, a little town in southern Catalonia, Spain. I studied Biology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Girona and, after getting my degree, I did a Master on Biodiversity: Conservation and Evolution in the University of Valencia, with the speciality on Animal Biodiversity and Conservation. There, I started my contact with the Felis Group (the Catalan research group on carnivores), with whom I have collaborated both for my degree and master final projects. 

Currently, thanks to a University Teaching Training grant (FPU), I am doing a PhD on Terrestrial Ecology at CREAF, directed by Ferran Sayol, who is also one of the coordinators of the Felis Group. My PhD thesis will adress mammals and global change. I am very interested on mammals, their ecology and their relationship with humans, as well as on the differents ways in which humans affect them.
