Deputy Director at CIBIO-Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (https://cibio.up.pt/). Conservation biologist interested in the natural and anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity change in human-dominated landscapes, including agricultural, forest and freshwater social-ecological systems. Strongly interested in the actual application of conservation science, with practical experience involving a range of conservation projects, species reintroduction, creation of protected areas, land planning for biodiversity, impact assessment and mitigation, ecological assessment and monitoring and corporate biodiversity. Author of >160 publications in international journals and edited books (https://publons.com/researcher/829414/pedro-beja/), and supervisor of > 20 PhD students. My publication record and research interests are described in https://scholar.google.pt/citations?user=6xecf34AAAAJ&hl=pt-PT and https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Pedro_Beja.
Although a professional biologist, using iNaturalist turns me into a Citizen Scientist interested in the observation and recording of biodiversity as a whole, as a modest contribution to increase information on species distributions and natural history. I'm particularly interested in species recording when I have the opportunity to travel to less known regions, either professionally or on holyday.
