Natalia Norden

Natalia NORDEN is a biologist from the Pierre and Marie Curie University (France) and holds a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from Paul Sabatier University (France). She has over 20 years of experience in plant community ecology, with research focused on the regeneration of tropical forests, including humid, dry, and high Andean forests, across both well-preserved and highly transformed landscapes. In recent years, she has applied this expertise to restoration ecology, contributing to the conservation of strategic ecosystems in Colombia such as tropical dry forests. Since 2016, she has been a principal researcher at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute (Bogotá, Colombia), where she works to generate knowledge on biodiversity management and use through multi- and transdisciplinary approaches that bridge gaps among diverse actors and support decision-making at multiple levels of society.
