In the last 13 years or "almost my entire academic life" was directed by one question that I made to myself in 2005 during the Biggest Amazon Forest Fire. I started asking myself "Why people deforest?" Since then I could not pass one day in my life without putting myself ahead searching for the solution to one of the biggest common anthropogenic problems - deforestation and incentives for ecosystems conservation - at the same time that I could solve my internal search. That's why I started both at the same time: a professional master in Economic Management of the Environment at the University of Brasília, UnB, and a Ph.D. in Forestry Resources Program at ESALQ/USP. The themes that are in my main work and interest are Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), REDD+, Environmental Reserve Quotas (CRA), and related economic instruments for nature conservation as well policies for regulation and financing ecosystems adaptation to climatic change.My full cv, in Portuguese, is available bellow:http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4470235H5
