I’m Diogo Veríssimo

Conservation of biodiversity is above all else an exercise in human persuasion. My mission is to harness behavioural science to inspire actions that protect nature and the future we share.

“If conservation wants to go beyond documenting declines, it must focus on influencing human behaviour”

Ethical publishing in conservation

If you’re navigating the maze of academic publishing and want to make an ethical choice, you’re not alone. We’ve compiled a list of 300+ biodiversity conservation journals evaluated against Fair Open Access principles — so you can publish with integrity and impact.

Let’s work together

From research collaborations to keynote talks and media interviews, I always welcome new ideas and opportunities. Let’s get in touch, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
