Prof Grzegorz Kopij was born in 1965 in Niemodlin, SW Poland. He completed his MSc (1989) at Wroclaw University, Poland; his PhD (1998) at the University of the Free State, South Africa; and his DSc at South Bohemian University, Česke Budejovice, Czech Republic (2007). He worked as a researcher in southern Africa for nearly 20 years at the University of the Free State (1993-1998), the National University of Lesotho (1998-2002), and the University of Namibia (2010-2020). In 2022, he joined Wroclaw University of Environmental & Life Sciences. While working at the National University of Lesotho, he has undertaken extensive studies on the distribution and abundance of vertebrates in Lesotho, a remote and hard-to-access country in the Maloti/Drakensberg Mountains of southern Africa. These studies resulted in 40 scientific publications. G. Kopij is an animal ecologist specializing in birds. He is a leading expert on Eastern European and African ornithology. His areas of scientific interests include population and community ecology (emphasizing population densities, and long-term population dynamics), breeding biology and diet composition analysis. He has published (mostly as a single author) over 550 articles (including over 100 highly-ranked publications indexed in the 'SCI' and 'Scopus' bases) and 10 books, mostly on birds and occasionally on other animal groups such as mammals, reptiles, arachnids and insects.
