About Bezeng Simeon

My global research interest is conservation biology with the primary objective of understanding drivers of biodiversity loss. I focus primarily on plants to understand key ecological questions related to species invasion, climate change, but also molecular ecology, phylogenetics and DNA Barcoding and Metabarcoding. Although my primary research has focused on plants, I also collaborate on projects studying animal ecology. Using data on global standards of the IUCN for species, and ecosystems Red Lists and Key Biodiversity Areas, I bridge the divide between data science and policy through supporting African countries to report on both national and international biodiversity commitments.
