Technical Work and Consulting
I believe a central part of my work is to engage in policy-making and general public outreach. I contribute to Brazilian conservation policy making as an expert consultant for the Brazilian Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) in matters regarding xenarthran conservation, such as the development of National Action Plans and the evaluation of the conservation status of Brazilian xenarthrans.
