"I am presently a full Professor at the University of Évora, where I teach Biological Sciences and hold the Chair of Entomology. Among my wide range of interests, I would like to emphasize the following subjects: Conservation of Invertebrates, Ecology and Management of Wildlife. I was twice vice-principal for academic and research matters at this same institution. Since 2006, I have been responsible for the relations between PALOP´s (African countries with Portuguese as the official language) and the University of Évora. Currently, I am developing several projects in Africa in the areas of Conservation and Environment, and I am the Head Director of the Centre for Studies and Scientific Research of the Methodist University of Angola (local university)"
