I have worked for conservation NGOs and research centres in Peru in projects related to community-based conservation, primate habitat conservation, conservation governance, environmental and intercultural education, agroecological knowledge systems, and conservation funding. I hold a bachelors degree in Science with mention in Biology and a Masters of Environmental Studies.
I am interested in conservation research and practice specially in the Amazon rainforest. My current work focuses on understanding the process of prioritisation for conservation areas among Indigenous Peoples and other local communities and national government commitments in the Peruvian Amazon, through the lenses of critical political ecology and decolonial epistemologies.
