Francisco Dallmeier directs the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute's Center for Conservation and Sustainability. The Center's mission is to apply the expertise of the Smithsonian to integrate conservation needs with sustainable development priorities. Dallmeier has a wide range of global experience in planning for biodiversity-friendly working landscapes, sustainable infrastructure conservation planning, quantification of the Mitigation Hierarchy tool toward no-net loss of biodiversity, scenario planning to inform policy makers, Biodiversity Monitoring and Assessment Programs (BMAP), human-wildlife conflicts, and professional training programs for conservation leaders and professionals.
