Research interests and expertise

I joined the Tour du Valat in March 2021, at a pivotal moment in its long history which corresponds to the implementation of a new five-year Strategic Plan. This plan should enable it to further increase its impact in terms of the conservation of Mediterranean wetlands while maintaining the scientific excellence that is its strength and consolidating its financial sustainability.

Driven by an unwavering commitment to environmental protection, I have some twenty years of experience in France and internationally, in a variety of organizations and contexts that have allowed me to work over the years on issues as diverse as coastal zone management, the implementation of innovative financing mechanisms, tropical deforestation, ocean governance, and adapting to climate change. I recently led the RESCCUE project in the Pacific Islands from 2014 to 2019 – the first large-scale project funded by France to support the implementation of nature-based solutions for adapting to climate change.

With one foot in science and the other in action, I am looking for the best levers to strengthen the effectiveness of environmental action.
