Ever since I started working on various conservation projects in Peru, I knew that I wanted to dedicate myself to working in the rainforest. Now I am a forest guardian with Wilderness International, thanks to the research internships that the organization offers to young Peruvians. I had the opportunity to work first-hand with researchers in the fields of herpetology, mammals and birds, which allowed me to improve my knowledge of wildlife monitoring.

Now my work focuses on biological monitoring and the monitoring and surveillance of our protected areas. As an environmental engineer, my field work aims to generate data that contributes to decision making for the conservation of our most fragile ecosystems. Working in the rainforest is a constant learning experience because you never stop learning about all it has to offer. Every day is different and amazing, full of shapes, colors, sizes and sounds to observe on a walk.
