I’m Falko Buschke, a biodiversity and ecosystem services specialist based in South Africa. I can help you use scientific data in your international development cooperation programme so that it aligns with the Global Biodiversity Framework.
Before becoming an independent scientist, I spent 2 years at the European Commission Joint Research Centre in Italy, where I was the focal point for Eastern and Southern Africa in the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programmer (BIOPAMA). This built on a PhD from KU Leuven , Belgium, 7 years in academia at the University of the Free State, South Africa, and 2 years as a freelancer for GOPA Com. contributing to the European Commission’s Africa Knowledge Plaform.
I also volunteer as a handling editor for the scientific journal Conservation Biology, and as member of the Impact Mitigation and Ecological Compensation (IMEC) working group of the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management.
