I have over seven years of experience in socio-environmental projects, with a focus on biodiversity conservation and environmental education. My academic background includes a PhD in Applied Ecology, a Master's in Ecotourism and Conservation, and a Licentiate degree in Biological Sciences. I have collaborated closely with local communities to address conservation challenges while considering the impacts of visitation on protected areas. My work aims to balance sustainable development with the protection of biodiversity and the well-being of local populations.
