Jean Paul Metzger is a Full Professor of Ecology at the University of São Paulo. Since 1995, he has been working with landscape planning and biodiversity conservation in highly fragmented landscapes, essentially in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region. His main research focuses are related to landscape connectivity, ecological thresholds and time-lag responses to landscape changes, and conservation planning. More recently, he is exploring the relationships between landscape structure, ecosystems services, and human well-being, besides investigating environmental policies’ efficiency in managing multifunctional landscapes. He also uses extensive modeling and scenario approaches to link landscape-level processes with restoration processes. He now works with collaborative synthesis approaches for the development and co-construction of nature-based solutions, facing both rural and urban social-environmental problems.
