Biography
I am interested in game ecology and human–nature interactions. I study the sustainability of hunting as part of societal change. I examine the structure and motivations of the hunting community, as well as societal attitudes toward hunting and the role of media in shaping these perceptions. I take an interdisciplinary approach, and I aim to deepen the understanding of the cultural and social dimensions of hunting and its adaptation to contemporary society.
