Gabriel Miret Minard

Researcher (M)

PROGRAM / Conservation biology

Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Sciences and Geology, and a Master’s Degree in Terrestrial Ecology and Biodiversity Management from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).

He worked with CREAF, where he trained in laboratory methods for processing soil and water samples from Alaska within the P-PEAT project, and conducted fieldwork in Collserola studying the behavior of wood mice. He collaborated with the ADENC, analyzing tree and shrub biodiversity in Sabadell and proposing green corridors to improve the city’s ecological connectivity. He also worked with GEPEC on a plan to integrate vegetation into façades and classrooms of several schools in Torredembarra. His master’s thesis led him to join the project “Identification of Critical Areas for the Conservation of the Little Bustard (Tetrax tetrax) in Spain” at the CTFC, where he is currently pursuing a PhD in Biodiversity Management and Conservation as part of the GREENRISK project. His doctoral research focuses on developing a forest biodiversity index to assess historical changes, project future scenarios, and guide restoration strategies for Mediterranean forests. He also collaborates with CREAF on the WildE project, which aims to advance knowledge for climate-smart rewilding in Europe, promoting nature-based solutions that strengthen ecosystems’ capacity for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity support.
