A Conservation Biologist who enjoys working with birds as focal species to better understand and contribute to the conservation of the natural world. My work often includes a combination of fieldwork, citizen science, capacity building and some scientific writing. A strong academic and research background has helped me to appreciate the need for a science-driven approach to biodiversity conservation, while several years of working with various professionals, citizen scientists and local communities to design and implement biodiversity conservation projects has given me first-hand insight into the crucial role and importance of empowering and working with people if we must achieve sustainable natural resource management. I also really enjoy the opportunities that studying birds affords me to travel and see the world, and the diverse people and cultures that I have been privileged to experience and work with because of my study of birds.

I am wildlife biologist and conservationist based in Mongolia. I studied bird communication, gibbon communication in China, and since 2003 I mainly study ecology and behavior of Mongolian wild Equids (Przewalski's horses in 2003 and Mongolian wild ass since 2004 to present).  In 2007 I co-founded Association GOVIIN KHULAN, which is a French based conservation non-profit organization which aims to enhance protection of the threatened Mongolian wild ass and the Gobi Desert ecosystem.  I am the conservation and research program director of this non-profit organization. I am also in charge of environmental education, training, and capacity building activities. I also lead scientific, widlife observation and community-based conservation tours in the Gobi Desert.
