About

I am a professional conservation and rural development planner and practitioner. Over the last 25 years I have promoted and supported national and international responses aimed at the conservation of native grasslands and forested areas. My interest to understand and address natural and social processes related to conservation have taken me to live and work in eight countries, ranging from the Mexican, Panamanian and Costa Rican rainforests to the Norwegian high arctic, in close collaboration with ─and working for─ indigenous peoples, key global conservation related NGO´s, academic organizations and governments. I hold a B. Sc. in Biology (UNAM) and a M.Sc. in International Rural Planning and Development (University of Guelph), with post graduate training in Tropical Ecology, Behavioral Ecology, Geography and Regional Planning. I have developed and honed skills at the tri-national (Mexico, USA and Canada), ecoregional (Mexico-USA Chihuahuan desert), state (Chihuahua), and multistate levels (Mexico City, Morelos and State of Mexico), designing and implementing nature conservation and regional development programs. I currently work with Conservation International-Mexico, coordinating multiple stakeholders in the implementation of the Water Forest Strategy¾ a long term conservation initiative of national security standing.
