Claudia Praxmayer
Claudia Praxmayer (born in Salzburg ) is an Austrian writer , conservation specialist and biologist .
Life
Praxmayer studied biology at the University of Salzburg and graduated with a Master of Science (M.Sc.). After graduating, she worked in a PR agency in Frankfurt am Main , and after five years she went to Munich as the agency's office manager . Later she started her own business in order to have more of her own freedom for writing books and protecting species. She also completed a degree in wildlife conservation at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust on Jersey Island .
The biologist is also an active member of the Tierparkfreunde München . She developed a program for the protection of great white sharks for NABU eV , was with the snow leopards in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan , as a species protection specialist was a delegate at the international CITES conferences for the protection of endangered animal species such as sharks, elephants, snow leopards and gorillas.
After initially only publishing non-fiction books in the field of medicine-related advice, she made her debut in 2013 with her first novel , the ecothriller Bleeding Earth, about a conservationist who fights against criminals illegally digging for coltan in the national park for her gorilla project in the Congo . Her second thriller, Traces of Ice , moves the same heroine Lea Winter for a nature film project on the snow leopards of Kyrgyzstan. Since the idea of species protection is by no means as firmly anchored in the local government as business interests, it even has the country's secret service against it and has to escape from the Central Asian state on adventurous routes with its film material. Another novel moves “Lea Winter” to Saxony as a special investigator in matters of wolf species protection . Her fourth novel, Queen Bee, is a book for youngsters about a 19-year-old in a near-future California who fights for the survival of endangered bees.
Claudia Praxmayer lives and works in Munich .
