About Me

Hi all!

currently, I am a Ph.D. student at the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences in Prague. I am interested in wildlife crime with a specific focus on illegal pangolin trade. I like being permanently in Africa and soon, it will come true. I got the incredible opportunity in my life to do what I love. A couple of times I was working in Africa as a volunteer and further also conducting my master´s research in the Republic of the Congo. So thus, I want to dedicate my life to motivate other people in a positive way, fight for justice in developing countries (and everywhere: -PPPP), develop local communities, educate myself, protect the most what we have - the beauty of nature, and bla bla bla, and just breath and live... Worthy, hm? :-)

At the moment, to fulfill my ambitions regarding further research and personal steps in the Congo Basin, I have to learn French and that is why I am also moving for several months to Angers to enjoy the local university atmosphere... I am lucky enough! :-)
