Voluntary Contributor, Ordinative Sciences Foundation - Wildlife Management Specialist and Bow Hunting Instructor

Profile

Wildlife management specialist and certified bow hunting instructor with nearly four decades of field experience in ungulate population control, selective harvesting, and biometric surveying across protected areas and regional hunting districts in Italy. Operates at the intersection of applied ecology, field safety governance, and structured outdoor training.

His professional trajectory combines long-standing institutional engagement in wildlife census and population management — including operations within national parks and presidential nature reserves — with a progressive specialization in archery-based hunting and instructor-level certification. This convergence of ecological field knowledge, safety-critical operational protocols, and training capacity informs his contribution to the Foundation’s Humanizer program as a domain of embodied environmental competence.
