Nora Berrahmouni Contact User	Location: rome, lazio, Italy I am a woman of algerian origin (embracing Berber, arab and mediterranean cultures) and Afro-mediterranean heart, a forest ecologist, working since May 2000 for WWF Mediterranean Programme, in Rome, coordinating forest conservation projects and teams. I have been leading since 2004, the development and implementation of the WWF cork oak landscapes programme. I provided and/or led organization of trans-national training, reports and publications prepared by WWF and partners. Prior to joining WWF, I was employed for 3 years by UNDP as a sustainable development advisor for the Maghreb countries, based in Algiers. I like the smells, colours and flavours of the Mediterranean ! I love interacting with people, culturally as well as socially. I like singing ... may be one day we should build a mediterranean singers network with different mediterranean languages. Love cooking and hiking in the mediterranean sea of mountains and deserts. I am interested in increasing and sharing my knowledge on conservation of mediterranean habitats, building synergies with all mediterranean habitats programmes and teams. I am leading the WWF cork oak landscapes programme aiming at conservation of these habitats using tools such as FSC certification along the cork market chain for the forest to the wine bottle/other cork products. I have interest in understanding/ testing Payments for environmental services in these landscapes, working also towards the support of north africa countries in implementing their PoWPA, forest landscapes restoration, responsible and community-based forest management.

Jeffrey Parrish Contact User	Location: Denver, Colorado, USA I have the great honor of being The Nature Conservancy's Director for Global Mediterranean Habitat Conservation. I serve as TNC's champion to advance the conservation of the highly threatened and extremely biodiverse mediterranean biome worldwide. I'm known jokingly by my nickname in Spanish- Jefe - and have worked in conservation around the world for 20 years. I came to the Conservancy in 1997 after receiving National Science Foundation and American Association for the Advancement of Science fellowships, and work at the US Agency for International Development on environmental conservation issues. I've had several posts at The Nature Conservancy, primarily in roles championing the Conservancy?s science, conservation planning and measures, and protected areas work, inside and outside of the United States. I have a particular interest in our the engagement of new partners in the mediterranean's productive sectors like agriculture, and creating new innovative allies in the effort to conserve mediterranean habitats worldwide. I live with my wife and 2 daughters in Colorado, hold a Ph.D. in Ecology from Brown University, and am fluent in Spanish. When not traveling the world, i love to cycle, hike, and telemark ski.

Salit Kark Contact User	Location: Jerusalem, , Israel My research focuses on understanding the patterns and processes shaping biodiversity and their implications for conservation in a changing world, with focus on Mediterranean ecosystems, and especially the Mediterranean Basin. I focus on biodiversity along species ranges and ecological gradients as well as in biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes. This includes studies on both native and introduced species in natural, agricultural and urban environs. Currently, I am coordinating a large project aimed at running a conservation planning exercise in the Mediterranean Basin, combining biodiversity, threats, social and economic factors, together with scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Queensland (The Ecology Centre). I am a Senior Lecturer and Head of the Biodiversity Research Group at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem since 2002. Before then I was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University for three years, working with Harold Mooney, Paul Ehrlich and Gretchen Daily, and collaborated with Tom Smith from the Center for Tropical Research at SFSU (currently at UCLA).
