Sofia Olivero Lora

I just finished my Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras. I have a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences and a master's degree in Forest Management and Biodiversity Conservation. My research and work experience is interdisciplinary at it's core and I am always looking to explore how humans interact with their environment, with the goal of applying knowledge to help solve the pressing environmental problems in Central America and the Caribbean. My major research interest is in social-ecological systems in tropical urban green areas and provision of ecosystem services in urban centers.
