Background
After my High School Diploma in Biology and Chemistry in 2002, I enrolled for a Master I course in Geography at the Faculty of Literature Arts and Human Sciences followed by a Master II Course in Natural Resources and Biodiversity Management at the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences (University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin) which I successfully completed in 2012 and 2015, respectively. I am currently a PhD candidate in Climate Change & Biodiversity at the Center of Excellence in Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture (CEA-CCBAD) in Ivory Coast.
Research project
My PhD research project entitled ‘’Biodiversity and Indigenous Knowledge in the areas surrounding the Lama forest in Benin’’ aimed at documenting biodiversity and knowledge of local people who are daily exposed to the effects of climate change in the surrounding areas of Lama Forest in Benin. Through this work, we will investigate the diversity and richness of food and medicinal tree species across different agroforestry systems, indigenous knowledge and effect of climate change on the current and future distribution of these species, as well as conservation and valorization strategies for the priority species identified.
