DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES

q      2005-Present: Embrapa-Cenargen, Brasilia

§         Coordinator of the FLOAGRI Project funded by the EC. The project aims to promote production systems within family agriculture in the Amazon integrating agriculture and forest management. The project acts in 3 different Amazonian countries : Brazil, Peru and Equador. The project started officially in July 2005 and has a 42 month duration and a total budget of 2,5 millions €, involving 5 different institutions and a team of more than 20 researchers and technicians. The executing institution of the project is Cirad (Forestry department) while the partner institutions in Brazil are Embrapa and IPAM, in Equador INIAP and in Peru UNAS.

§         Coordinator of the silviculture component of the Project Floresta em Pé funded by the FFEM The main objective of this project is to promote sustainable multiple forest management plan in the region of Santarém (Brazil) in the framework of partnership between communities and logging companies. The silvicultural part of the project will focus on the seek of new silvicultural rules able to take into account all the forest resources (timber and non timber products). Special attention will be given to tree species providing both timber and non timber forest products. 

 2001-2005 : Embrapa, Belém,

§         Coordinator of the Ecosilva Project The project Ecosilva main objectif was to define new silvicultural rules based on our knowledge of the ecology of the main important commercial species. The project questioned the capacity of Reduced Impact Logging techniques to ensure, alone, sustainable forest management for timber. Studies on the impact of these techniqes on forest structure and dynamics were carried out in a private forest managed by a FSC certifed logging company (CIKEL).The main research studies were :

-          Impact of logging on forest dynamics and yield

-          Study of the vulnerability of some timber species to logging operation

-          Search for new logging rules for a better sustainability

§         Professor at UFRA University

§         Orientation of graduate and pos-graduate students from Brazil and Europe

1999-2001 : Cirad-Forêt Montpellier

§         Follow up of the Bulungan Project : field missions and publication of scientific paper and report of activities

§         Publication of STREK project Results

§         Successive visits to Brazil for the elaboration of the Ecosilva Project.

1996-1999 : CIFOR, Bogor

§         CIRAD Visiting Scientist in CIFOR

-     Elaboration of the Bulungan Research Forest in Bornéo

-     Coordinator of the silvicultural and forest ecology component of the project

-          -       Organization of an international workshop on the management of secondary forests in SE Asia.

q      1991-1996 : CIRAD EAST KALIMANTAN, STREK PPROJECT

§              Assistant of the project coordinator The main objective of the project was to assess the impact of RIL techniques on forest dynamics in order to recommand new silcivultural rules for mixed dipterocarp forests. My main activities were the following:

-          Monitoring of the experimental net plot

-          Botanical identification of trees in the permament plots

-          Implementation of RIL technique in the plots

-          Assessment of logging damage on forest stand

-          Assessment of logging impact on forest dynamics (plot monitoring)

-          Logging damage assessment

-          Coordination of the field team (technicians and engineers)

q      1990-1991 : Visiting Scientist in BIOTROP Bogor, Indonésie

Coordinator for the construction of the vegetation map of West Kalimantan. The main objective was to check in the field the vegetation map made from satellite and aerial photos. The contract foreseen for 2 years was stopped after the first year, with therefore the impossibility to finish the map within this short term assignment.
