Koos Biesmeijer

Koos Biesmeijer is hoofd van de onderzoeksgroep Nederlandse Biodiversiteit en Samenleving (NL Biodiversity and Society) in Naturalis en professor Natuurlijk Kapitaal aan de Universiteit Leiden. Hij werkt samen met veel wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke partners om het Nederlandse landschap te verbeteren voor bestuivers en biodiversiteit in het algemeen. Hij is adviseur op het gebied van biodiversiteit bij de provincie Zuid-Holland en vice-voorzitter van de natuurbeschermingsorganisatie Natuurmonumenten.

Onderzoek
interesse

Ik ben ecoloog en werk al 20 jaar aan verandering in biodiversiteit, met een focus op interacties tussen bestuivers en planten. Ik was de eerste die grootschalige gekoppelde bestuiver- en plantenafnames documenteerde (Biesmeijer et al. 2006 in Science) en ik leid onderzoek naar duurzame gewasbestuiving in het VK en Europa en ben betrokken bij onderzoek naar de drijvende krachten achter bestuiververandering en stedelijke bestuivers evenals inheemse honingbijen, de impact van fragmentatie op inheemse bestuivers en de impact van invasieve planten op ecosystemen. 

Na een PhD en postdoc in ecologie van tropische bijen aan de Universiteit Utrecht, onderzocht ik ecologie en communicatie van de honingbij aan de Cornell-universiteit (VS) en afnames van Europese planten en bestuivers aan de Universiteit van Leeds. Momenteel werk ik bij Naturalis Biodiversity Center waar ik een team leid dat functionele biodiversiteit, ecosysteemdiensten, en verandering in biodiversiteit bestudeert. Bij mijn activiteiten zijn vaak internationale partners (EU, VK, India, Brazilië, Kenia), organisaties (FAO, Apimondia, IUCN), industrie en onderzoeksnetwerken betrokken.

Ik geloof dat je, als wetenschapper, verplicht bent om manieren te vinden om kennis bruikbaar te maken voor onze maatschappij en om besluitvormers te informeren over belangrijke kwesties. In mijn geval is dit biodiversiteit. Zelfs het relatief begrensde onderwerp van bestuivers en bestuiving raakt aan veel verschillende sectoren en maatschappelijke belanghebbenden (bijv. landbouw, chemische industrie, voedselzekerheid, wetenschap, natuurbescherming, bijenteelt, economie). Een verschil maken is daarom een echte uitdaging.
