Selected Field Expeditions
I have conducted expeditions and nature travels in a wide range of habitats throughout five continents (Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and sub-Antarctic).
I started to organize independent nature trips with the aim of studying flora and fauna. Later, this has been extended both, in trips to carry out scientific collections and for the study of biodiversity.
I have worked with specific emphasis on island systems (Galapagos, Madagascar, Prince Edwards archipelago, Canary Islands, Madeira, Cape Verde), African flora (continental patterns and Rand Flora), collection of rare flora and relicts. I have a general knowledge of African, Atlantic, Arabian, Macaronesian, Malagasy, Mediterranean and sub-Antarctic flora and fauna
