Co-Chair/EEP coordinator for the common hippopotamus / Ostrava Zoo, Czechia

I perform research on hippos in captive environment, focusing on topics like suckling behaviour or sex ratio. In addition, I am keeper of the European studbook and coordinator of European breeding programme for common hippopotamus aiming to keep population viable and diverse.

Co-Chair/ Professor, San Diego State University, United States 

My area of research focuses on common hippo foraging behavior and population dynamics in response to changing environmental conditions. I have a particular interest in hippo telemetry. My current efforts focus on supporting collaborative and inter-institutional initiatives on hippos as well as compiling country-level data for Red List assessments.
