Luis Fernando Guerra

I'm a veterinarian, with a master's degree in wildlife conservation and management from the Institute of Wildlife Conservation and Management (ICOMVIS) at the National University of Costa Rica (UNA). I'm currently working at the Wildlife Conservation Society-Guatemala, as coordinator of the Wildlife Health Program for Mesoamerica, supporting projects for the monitoring and conservation of scarlet macaws and the coexistence between humans and carnivores in the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala. In recent years, my interest is to develop research on Disease Ecology and its relationship with conservation within protected areas in Petén, Guatemala. I would like to increase the participation of Latin American professionals and students in disease ecology research, especially in Central America.
