Thank you so much Thirza and the group for accepting my request to join the community
My full name is Silto Jaime Cristóvão but you can call me CRISTÓVÃO. I am Mozambican and I live in my country of origin, I am not fluent in English and I have limitations, however I am in a learning phase and I hope to improve in the near future, I am currently using certain translation apps.
I am a conservation biologist, with 6 years of professional experience in biodiversity conservation. I am currently not linked to any employer and am available for any conservation employment that is available.
I am finishing two Masters in GIS and Monitoring of Natural Resources as well as in Territorial Planning and Biodiversity Conservation.
My main objective for joining this community is to be able to share my experience in conservation as well as help to publicize the activities and programs of the community in my network of contacts in my city and bad country, also learning from everyone. I have high expectations since the community is made up of people with different experiences.
Thanks
