Biography
Dr. Klaus Henle is a biologist and Head of the Department of Conservation Biology at the UFZ in Leipzig. His research focuses on conservation biology, the population ecology of vertebrates, herpetology, land use change, landscape fragmentation, scaling of ecological processes and monitoring methods. He is an expert on the Habitats Directive, the Natura2000 network, and CITES. He has many years of experience in the coordination of large national and international research projects and his department coordinates the German network and forum for biodiversity research (NeFo). Currently, he has research projects running in Germany, the EU, Australia, and Brazil.
