Dr Bruno FADY
Senior scientist, INRAE
Deputy Director of the Ecology of Mediterranean Forests research laboratory and senior scientist at INRAE, based in Avignon, France, I specialize in conservation genetics and Mediterranean forest ecology. My current research focuses on how genetic diversity is structured at broad and fine geographic scales in relation to natural ecological factors and human impacts in Mediterranean tree species. Genetic diversity is Nature's way for creating biodiversity. It is a process that humans should protect, and can use, to foster evolution and adaptation. Thus, I am also involved in activities at the crossroads between science, management and policy that aim at optimizing the conservation and sustainable use of forest genetic resources worldwide.
