I´m conservation biologist with special interest in animal ecology. Master degree in marine biodiversity and conservation, my research interest focused on sea turtles response to environmental changes and this effect on embryonic development and hatching success. I have actively participated in all aspects and phases of important projects involved in Cape Verde sea turtle conservation.
Actually, I´ve involve in conservation of loggerhead turtle nesting activity and study of juvenile green turtle and hawksbill, monitoring of humpback whales, ospreys, red-billed tropicbird, Egyptian vultures and the magnificent frigatebirds.
I also been involved in conservation activities in protected areas (coastal ecosystems and wetlands), definition of ecotourism guidelines (turtles, whales, birds and corals) and information, education and awareness activities addressed to the local population and visitors in the Cape Verde Island.
