I am interested in answering key questions on biodiversity conservation science using landscape ecology as background, birds and mammals as focal groups and socioeconomic situation of places where I develop my projects, as a context. Questions such as: What are the thresholds of forest cover that determine trends of species loss in the Andes? or, what are the consequences of current forest loss for different biomes at a landscape scale? are key aspects of my research. I am also interested in the science policy-interface specifically focused on land use planning studies where I explore possible trends of sustainability, and aspects such as payments for environmental services and restoration ecology.
