Gioele Passoni

I have a BSc in Natural Sciences from the University of Milan and a MSc in Conservation Science from Imperial College London. For my Master’s thesis, I designed an evidence-based framework for wind farm spatial planning based on impacts on wolf habitat in Croatia. Following my Masters, I was a research assistant at UFZ-Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (Leipzig). My research focused on modelling functional landscape connectivity using Agent-Based Modelling, as well as on the evaluation of the Common Agricultural Policy with respect to its own objectives and to the Sustainable Development Goals. Finally, I am a representative member of the IUCN-CEM in the EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP AG7), aiming at developing ecological connectivity in the Alps.
