I am an environmental biologist specialised in biodiversity management and conservation. I use photography as a tool for scientific communication, to raise awareness and promote nature conservation.

Trees fallen in the forest and in full decomposition are not very popular among society. We tend to think that they are a source of pests, that they indicate neglect or that they will cause a fire. The reality is more complex than that and we can be surprised.
