Inês Leão Email & Phone Number

A passionate conservationist with a background in Biology and a Master's in Applied Ecology, both from the University of Aveiro. My journey has led me to focus on what excites me the most - ecological restoration. From assessing ecosystem health to controlling invasive species, and from wildlife habitat creation to engaging local communities, I’m dedicated to making a real impact.Currently, I work as a Nature Conservation Technician at a Portuguese environmental NGO, where I’m hands-on in developing and applying effective management and conservation strategies. Whether it's reforestation, erosion control, or educating others about the environment, I believe that every step counts for nature protection.
