He has collaborated with national and local birds and biodiversity conservation NGOs such as LAC, LIPU, GOL, GIO, WWF Lombardia and FICEDULA. He has participated in local and national ornithological monitoring programs organized by the Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale (ISPRA) and the Museo delle Scienze, Trento (MUSE), contributing to the production of specialist publications. He has contributed to the implementation of the GuardaMI project and to the study of urban biodiversity in the city of Milan.

Co-founder of Associazione FICEDULA, he has always been involved in the development of citizen science projects. He collaborates with various research institutes, particularly on projects related to the monitoring of bird migration. He launched the Ornitho.it web portal, currently the main biodiversity data bank in Italy, laying the foundations for the publication of the new atlas of breeding birds in Italy and of several regional and local atlases. He is committed to biodiversity conservation and to environmental education, supporting teachers at all school levels.

Professional wildlife expert, active since 2001, he leads and implements monitoring projects and is directly involved in both field data collection and analysis. He specializes in biodiversity monitoring and environmental assessments related to infrastructure planning and development, with years-long experience in the planning and evaluation of renewable energy projects. He has broad experience in collaborations within multidisciplinary teams for the management of complex environmental projects.

Professor of Ecology at the University of Milan since 2021, has always worked on birds. His research mainly focuses on ecology, conservation and evolution of animal communities and species (especially birds) and on ecosystem functioning, with particular attention to the effects of climate and environmental changes on alpine species, the relationship between agriculture and biological communities, and the link between human activities, environmental characteristics and ecosystem services. Author of 160 papers on international scientific journals.
