Director of Project Development & Analytics
has an academic background in Wildlife Research and Biodiversity Monitoring in the tropics, fuelled by an unexplainable fondness for crocodilians, swamps, and tropical forests. Over the last decade, he co-authored several scientific publications and his professional interests grew into applying remote sensing tools (GIS) and semi-citizen science to biodiversity monitoring and wildlife research, management and conservation. At rePLANET, Joto is responsible for overall management of the Project Development team, and overseeing development and implementation of workflows, processes, systems and documentation for streamlining data management, collaborative work and overall design of Nature Based Solutions projects (Carbon and Biodiversity). Together with his team they are continuously looking to improve rePLANET’s MRV standards to stay at the forefront of current R&D and adapting to match the current best practice requirements in this rapidly changing environment. Joto also leads the technical team, which focus on innovation, problem solving, streamlining and improving systems and procedures to overcome challenges and limitations in biodiversity monitoring and wildlife research, management and conservation.
