The mission of Osa Conservation is to conserve the terrestrial and marine biological diversity of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica through the support and management of ecosystems and protected areas, scientific research, education and training, and creating sustainable economic opportunities to build resilience to climate change.

Osa Conservation has decided to expand its efforts for the recovery of fauna in Costa Rica under a new “Rewilding” program, and they are now seeking a biologist with experience in active wildlife management to carry out a project on the white-lipped peccary in Piedras Blancas National Park.

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in environmental social sciences and humanities, interested in sustainability and environmental protection. My areas of expertise range from environmental history to human geography, from environmental law & policies to environmental management. In recent years, my work has focused on human-nature relationships in water environments and water management (more specifically related to flood risk). Currently, I am wrapping up my PhD while working as visiting researcher in Sweden.

I am also passionate about animal welfare and ethology and over the years I have had the opportunity to support projects studying wild horses, salmon, beavers and orcas for a number of environmental organisations.
