Research interests
I am a graduate of environmental protection (with a specialization in environmental biology) at the Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University, and of the English-language PhD Program in Biology at the Institute of Environmental Sciences, Jagiellonian University. My research interests have always been interdisciplinary in nature, being at the same time solidly rooted in the natural sciences, and have included: social and economic aspects of the implementation of the Natura 2000 network in Poland; building a system of nature conservation in Poland that would take into account nature protection outside protected areas and use the concepts of ecological corridor and green infrastructure; using the concept of ecosystem services in modern environmental management (nature governance). Currently, I am also directing my attention in the area of ecological economics and the practical implications that the need for nature conservation has on economic calculus and decision-making and participatory processes.
