I am a professional naturalist with experience in the tropical flora of all continents, but being more focussed on the Flora of Seychelles since 2008, when I became resident. I am working as a consultant, mostly for the Government (see more on ResearchGate), and I do botanical research (including taxonomy) on a project bases, combined with training of local taxonomists. I led the Seychelles Plant Gallery project (www.seychellesplantgallery.com) in 2011-2013 and I am wishing to extend my observations to non-vascular plants and some insect groups.
