I am a veterinarian from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNal) with an MSc in Wild Animal Health from the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London and member of the UNal Bioethics Committee. My experience has been in human-animal conflict resolution, wildlife capture and transport and wildlife trafficking control and prevention. My focus is to lead interdisciplinary studies working with carnivores as focal species to find an equilibrium between agricultural production and the conservation of ecosystems. My main work has been with Colombian cat species Panthera onca, Puma concolor, Herpailurus yagouaroundi, Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus tigrinus.
