Sport Ecology

As an ambassador for Patagonia, Protect our Winters e.V. and co-founder of the initiative Ecopoint Frankenjura, I would like to support sustainable development in outdoor sports and especially in climbing. The non-profit, local community project Ecopoint Frankenjura aims to promote and support the environmentally conscious behavior of outdoor climbers. In my work as a research assistant, we use socio-scientific methods and practical studies to investigate current developments and possible climate-positive changes in outdoor climbing.
