My name is Simon Mösch and I am currently a Phd Student at the Humboldt Universität Berlin.
My research interests include urban wildlife, invasive species as well as wilderness, rewilding and human-animal-interactions.
​
I am interested to understand human-animal-preceptions to create a less-conflicted coexistence of humans and wild animals - in urban areas and natural areas alike (read more here).
In collaboration with the Freie Universität Berlin and the IZW, I am investigating human-wildlife-interactions in urban environments. Aim is to understand the dynamics of human-wildlife-conflicts and to enhance existing urban wildlife management tools for environmental education as well as urban and greenspace planning (read more here).
