I have been responsible for the wolf monitoring at KORA since August 2012. I manage the genetic wolf samples from all over Switzerland, as well as the communication of the results to the cantons. Furthermore, I process chance observations, respond to media questions on the wolf, support the cantons with their monitoring in the field and keep the contact with colleagues abroad.

I was working as a forest warden for 10 years, and a further 10 years as manager of WWF of the upper Valais. The limitation of natural resources is my personal benchmark. To have time is nowadays the greatest happiness. Humour and the good simple things in life give me pleasure.

Personal interests: hiking, nature, hunting and fishing, wildlife biology, ecosystems, ornithology, politics, environmental law, music, literature, leisure, vineyard, figs and fruit trees.
