Märtha Wallgren
PhD. Researcher in wildlife ecology, primarily focusing on interactions between plants and grazing animals. Leads projects related to ungulate browsing and forestry, the biology of ungulates, and the effects of grazing on biodiversity. Trained as a wildlife biologist and holds a doctorate in community ecology from SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences).
Jean Pierre Trembelay
Jean-Pierre Tremblay is a professor in the Department of Biology at Université Laval - Canada - and the director of the university's Forest Study Center. His research lies at the intersection of animal ecology, forest ecology, and wildlife management. He aims to uncover how interactions between species, such as plants, deer, and ticks, influence their abundance and distribution.
Camilla Sandström
Camilla Sandström is a Professor of Political Science at Umeå University, Sweden, where she hold the UNESCO Chair in Biosphere Reserves as Living Laboratories for Inclusive Societal Transformation (since 2023). Her academic contributions primarily center on environmental policy and the governance and management of natural resources, including wildlife such as large carnivores, ungulates, and grazing birds. Grounded in a social-ecological systems framework, her work explores how policy and governance can be designed to meet environmental goals and effectively manage conflicts between different objectives. She was appointed as a member of the IUCN SSC Human-Wildlife Conflict & Coexistence Specialist Group in 2019.
