Dr Lynn Dicks
Lynn Dicks is a Research Fellow at the University of East Anglia in the UK, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council. She is an applied ecologist, focused on sustainable management of agricultural landscapes, with particular reference to wild pollinator conservation and the maintenance of pollination services. She has published several papers on the effectiveness (or not) of agri-environment schemes in Europe, and her research group works at the interface between agro- ecology, policy and the food and farming industry. She was a Co-ordinating Lead Author of the IPBES global assessment report on pollinators and pollination in 2016.

Dr Barbara Mihók
Barbara Mihók completed her PhD in Ecology and Systematic Biology in 2008. Following the years of forest ecology PhD research, she quickly became involved in inter- and transdisciplinary conservation studies working along with social scientists and ecological economists. She conducted ecosystem services qualitative assessments, participatory conservation research and environmental horizon scanning during her career at the MTA Centre for Ecological Research. Searching for a deeper understanding of the human-nature connection in recent years her attention has turned from the institutional and social context to the individual scale of nature conservation: human values, attitudes, behaviour. Her recent area of interests covers theoretical and applied ecopsychology and the link between the well-being of humans and nature. Currently she is a member of an ecological economics research group (Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Research Centre) at the University of Szeged and a partner of the Ecopsychology Institute, Budapest.

Zselyke Molnos is an ecopsychologist, founder and leader of the Ecopsychology Institute, Hungary. A biologist and psychologist by training, she is interested in psychological processes that bond us to or alienate us from the natural world, and is working on the integration of psychological aspects and insights into conservation. She is also involved in attitude development using nature-based counselling and other various applied ecopsychological methods. Her first Hungarian textbook: The Basics of Ecopsychology was released in 2016.
