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.

My work focuses on the biological monitoring of our protected areas. As an environmental engineer, my goal is to collect data that contributes to decision making for the conservation of our most fragile ecosystems. Working in the rainforest is a constant learning experience because nature always has something new to offer. Every day is different and amazing, full of shapes, colors and sounds that you can perceive while walking in the forest. I really enjoy that!
