Dr. Reginald T. Guuroh is a Research Scientist at the CSIR-Forestry Research Institute of Ghana (CSIR-FORIG) in the Forests and Climate Change Division. He is a graduate of the University of Bonn where he obtained his PhD in Plant Ecology. He also obtained MScs in Tropical Forestry and Management from TU Dresden, Germany and Environmental Forestry from Bangor University, UK. His research focuses on investigating the impacts of multiple environmental drivers on ecosystems' functioning and service provision to society. In climapAfrica, his research will seek to understand how climate and land use jointly affect the distribution of woody medicinal plants in Ghana.

I participate at climapAfrica because...
It provides a wonderful platform for African researchers to network and share their experiences and research findings. This way, African researchers would be able to contribute to the climate change discourse from the African perspective. This program would also provide an opportunity to initiate and or improve collaboration between African researchers and German counterparts with possibilities to create win-win outcomes that would benefit society.
