Project management
I’m devoted to biodiversity conservation, the sustainable management of natural systems and land planning. I study the biology and ecology of those populations, habitats and threatened species that work as bioindicators or have a key role in the functioning of ecosystems in a context of global change. Below you’ll find the list of projects I’ve coordinated, which have been presented and selected in competitive calls.

We humans are fragile and vulnerable, like the rest of the species inhabiting the planet, and we cannot live alone and isolated from our natural environment. Biodiversity, as a whole, works as a shield that protects every single species making it up, including ourselves. The biosphere does not belong to us; we belong to it and we completely depend on other species, which are the product of 3,800 million years of evolution. As human beings we have the duty and the opportunity to protect the rest of the life with which we share planet Earth.
