Working in wolf conservation projects, particularly in the implementation of damage prevention measures within the LGD Program developed by Grupo Lobo since 1996, that aims to promote the use of Portuguese breeds of Livestock Guarding Dogs (LGDs) as an efficient tool to protect livestock, mitigate conflicts with breeders and increase tolerance towards the endangered Iberian Wolf.
Within the LGD Program, implemented by Grupo Lobo since 1996, more than 600 pups have been donated, supported and monitored, with the help of national and international public and private funding; assessment of the dogs' efficiency has been done using several criteria (dog behavior/performance, damage analysis, owner satisfaction); numerous promotion activities have been done (talks, publications, media, meetings) and the main results have been disseminated to the public (general, stakeholders, children) and the scientific community at the national and international levels. Participated in the development of the Portuguese Wolf Management Plan.
