2022. Sani Research Camp, Ecuador Conservation, OPWALL. 

Senior scientist for Opwall in Ecuador Site: Sanni Isla Community. My main work was to lead the different research teams (ornithologist, botanist, entomologist, herpetologist, mammalogist, and anthropologist) to conduct biodiversity surveys and share the knowledge with the local native communities in Sani. We discussed with the local community what they considered most important to achieve and what would be more useful for them. Based on this, we design collaborative projects such as recording bird species and providing them with audio recordings for their guiding experiences.
