Obtained PhD in the evolution of plants in 1987. Since then worked for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, WWF (USA)‚ The Natural History Museum of the University of Copenhagen‚ The Danish Ornithological Society‚ the Danish Development Assistance Agency (DANIDA)‚ the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)‚ the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund and Cambridge University.

Have worked as a conservation scientist and conservation manager specialising in projects in the developing countries‚ especially in East Africa. These have included forest and marine conservation‚ conservation planning‚ capacity building‚ biodiversity inventory‚ costing conservation‚ improving protected area databases and measuring the management effectiveness and the costs and benefits of protected areas.
