It includes ecological monitoring, research on threatened species (seabirds, turtles, sharks), invasive species control and eradication, and socio-economic research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Why do you do what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The money! No, just kidding, I do it because I enjoy myself. This is a totally personal judgement, but to my knowledge, conservation is the only field that has enhanced my motivation and implication in a way that permits me to work in an efficient manner. My passion for nature and my somewhat subconscious need to spend time on issues that I find ethically rewarding, have catalyzed my involvement. At the moment I can\u2019t imagine being as stimulated as I currently am, if I was working on any other mission than one aiming for the conservation of species, habitats and traditional livelihoods.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Why is scientific research important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Whatever project it is that you are working on, success and<br \/>\nachievements will be linked to the notion of progress. The trick is\u00a0that progress cannot be assessed unless you are in some way measuring,\u00a0determining and analysing all relevant parameters. Scientific research\u00a0allows you to justify and elaborate result-oriented, pertinent<br \/>\nstrategies to start with, but more importantly it gives you the\u00a0information necessary to evaluate the progress being made. Hence\u00a0scientific research provides the knowledge necessary to steer and\u00a0adjust action plans and strategies to ensure their efficiency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What is the best\/worst thing about being a conservation scientist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It seems to me that the advantages and drawbacks of this profession are related to the feeling of working on legitimate, essential and\u00a0challenging issues. The best part of the job is motivation; being\u00a0aware how pertinent your tasks are, and realizing how this wonderful occupation is significant in light of worldwide issues and future generations.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part of the job is frustration; realizing that despite<br \/>\nknowing it makes sense to invest time and effort in such a genuine and\u00a0rightful cause, some other project stakeholders do not understand the\u00a0need for and critical importance of these issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What I enjoy the most is being out there! It\u2019s a combination of simply enjoying personal interests and working on public interest issues on the spot. Because you\u2019re constantly confronted to the local reality, some days you\u2019re disappointed by unreasonable behaviours, cupidity of individuals or lack of concern in long term public interests, but that\u2019s only some days. The rest of the time your reaction to events is predominantly paced by YES, WOW, or RIGHT ON!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Tell us a bit about the project you are currently working on and what will be the final result of the work<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The project aims to protect some of Madagascar\u2019s healthiest and most\u00a0diverse coral reefs, and ensure the sustainability of local andtraditional livelihoods. Our strategy is based on the establishment of\u00a0a Locally Managed Marine Area in the Barren Isles, on the West coast\u00a0of Madagascar, and expected outcomes include the preservation of\u00a0pelagic fish stocks and ecosystem services, local capacity building in\u00a0conservation, development of alternative and durable livelihoods, and the obliteration of illegal, destructive practices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite species or group of species and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Recently, my favourite encounters have been with rays. Meeting with\u00a0these majestic creatures makes any snorkelling\/diving sessionswonderful; whether they\u2019re spotted eagles, mantas or devil rays, observing these massive bird-like shapes smoothly fly through the water is quite a show. My admiration is also due to their very social\u00a0behaviour: how crazy is it that when you scream underwater, one of\u00a0these beautiful rays may turn around, and circle you slowly before it\u00a0slowly moves away? One of the rare wild animals that seems to show respect<br \/>\nand politely say \u201cHi\u201d to humans despite our generally reprehensible\u00a0behaviour!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What would your science superhero power be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019d have to be the ability to travel in time, or more precisely to\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-style: italic;\">send other people in time!
