Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarijke Thoonen is a scientist and landscape ecologist with eight years of experience at the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO), specializing in biodiversity monitoring, landscape assessments and nature management. She combines hands-on field data collection and remote sensing with spatial (GIS) and statistical analysis to inform policy and practical management of heathlands, invasive species (notably knotweed) and ecosystem services. At INBO she has developed management strategies, coordinated advice for Flemish government spatial planning and built stakeholder communities of practice to translate science into actionable guidance. Marijke is experienced in project development, policy writing and public engagement through workshops and webinars, and she proactively raises awareness among policymakers about climate adaptation and invasive species. An interesting facet of her profile is the blend of technical GIS/data skills with active outreach—she not only analyzes landscapes but also shapes the networks that implement conservation on the ground.
