I am a Veterinarian from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNal) with a Master of Science in Wild Animal Health from the Royal Veterinary College of London at the University of London. Experience in human-animal conflict resolution, wildlife capture and transport and animal trafficking control. My main 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 work in Colombia has been mainly with felids, but also with Andean bears. Member of UNal Bioethics Committee and IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group and Wildlife Health Specialist Group.
