Reinhard Ploetz

Position: Governmental Civil Servant

Organization: RPDATA

Description: I am 55 years old, of good health and I have large experience acquired abroad. I have been working as a civil servant of Lower Saxony since 1984, and live in Hannover. For many years I have been travelling the tropics and have been collecting data and pictorial material for my database project (14 months in French Polynesia and Hawaii in 2002-03 and another 12 month in 2006-07). For about 30 years I have been working in the field of environmental problems, ecology, bionomics and EDP. On this background I have been able to gain professional competence in very different jobs: as freelance landscape architect with my own planning office as a specialist teacher at a school for landscape architecture and ecology and as a civil servant at the Ministry for the Environment in Lower Saxony as well as at the district government of Hannover.
