I am a CNRS researcher working at the Station d'Ecologie Théorique et Expérimentale in the Pyrenees in the South of France. I am using multidisciplinary approaches (including ecology, psychology, economics, neuroscience and evolution) to study prosociality and pro-environemental behaviors in humans. I am developing some exciting new projects on empathy for nature, psychological determinants of pro-environmental behaviours and effect of global changes on human cognition, well-being and behavior.

Given the urgency to face the environmental crisis, I would like to develop and evaluate new educational programs to encourage and maintain the extent to which people see themselves as part of nature (i.e. human-nature connectedness) in a way that allow them to develop a sustainable and resilient relationship with other living beings and to engage in “prosocial” behaviors towards the natural world for the sake of a desirable future.
