Role
Teresa manages the ‘Ensuring the survival of endangered plants in the Mediterranean’ project, funded by MAVA Foundation with six MSB partners in Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Cyprus.
Day-to-day this involves regular communication with the project partners, coordinating the seed collecting and other related activities. Teresa is also involved in other MSB activities in Europe, e.g. the ENSCOBASE database. She is particularly interested in linking ex situ conservation projects with in situ actions.
