I am a Professor at Maranhão State University (UEMA) and researcher for Instituto Pró-Carnívoros. My main interests are the ecology, conservation and natural history of felids, other carnivores and endangered species. Currently I am leading a long-term, continental-wide conservation program on the smaller Neotropical felids: Wild Cats Americas Conservation Program, which is doing hard-core conservation actions, population monitoring, status assessment, and understanding their ecology and natural history.I am the founder and current chair of the Tiger Cats Conservation Intiative (TCCI) (http://tigercatsconservation.com/), and founding member of the Ocelot/Margay/Jagarundi Working Group and Pampas Cats Working Group.
