I am a biologist from Ecuador. I am interested in conservation biology and spatial ecology. I have taken part in the study of small to large-size vertebrate species across several regions in Ecuador, with particular emphasis on the study of keystone mammal species in the central Andes. I have a Master's degree in Conservation Biology and I am currently pursuing my PhD in Biodiversity, Genetics, and Evolution at the University of Porto in Portugal.
I am convinced that science must address the threats to biodiversity conservation by reducing the effects of human disturbance, involving local people at the time to encourage the sustainable management of natural resources. I am sure this project will be useful for land management decision-making and reduce human disturbances over wildlife in a landscape where economic activities depend mainly upon natural resources.
