Mon groupe / My group
J’encadre ou j’ai encadré un certain nombre d’étudiants qui ont pour une bonne partie d’entre eux vocations à intégrer le monde de la gestion/conservation de la nature. En parallèle des cours, l’encadrement d’étudiants en stage de master, de diplôme EPHE, en thèse ou en post-doc est une manière de former les futurs gestionnaires aux méthodes pointues de monitoring ou de dynamique des populations.
