I am an environmental educator and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oulu (Finland), specializing in ecojustice education, human-wildlife coexistence, multispecies governance, and transformative approaches to biodiversity education. My work bridges education, animal law, and environmental diplomacy, with a focus on the legal, pedagogical, and cultural shifts needed to foster peaceable coexistence between humans and other species. I work on reimagining multilateral governance by integrating Rights of Nature frameworks into diplomacy simulations, including Model United Nations frameworks, co-designed participatorily with teachers, students, researchers and rangers. I have extensive experience building meaningful and sustainable international cross-sectoral partnerships and currently co-lead the multispecies education work package in the MUST: Enabling Multispecies Transitions in Cities and Regions research project and serve as Principal Investigator and Co-lead of an International Strategic Partnership with the University of Namibia, focusing on human-animal coexistence in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA). I also lead the development of an online biodiversity education course as part of the UniPID GLOBUS (Virtual Studies for Global Sustainable Development in Southern African Collaboration).  I co-coordinates teacher education on multispecies environmental education and have led diverse international research initiatives, including in Portugal, Finland, and Namibia.  I am also Founder and Director of Wilberhouse, an environmental education organization rooted in multicultural storytelling and community engagement.

I'm from Badajoz, a little city near Portugal at Extremadura, Spain. I love my region because is plenty of wild nature, birds, forests, rivers... but is endangered too. I have a BSc in Biology and a MSc in Biodiversity Conservation. I have more than 15 years of experience in Environmental Education with school kids and the general public. I'm interested in all related topics about ecology, conservation and all living creatures and their relationships, that makes possible the life on Earth.  I have worked in Paraguay granted by University of Salamanca and UNESCO Chair "Education for Sustainable Development: Strengthening lines of research in the area of ​​biodiversity and the link with society". My duties were teaching experiments design and basic biostatistics at UNA (Universidad Nacional de Asunción); doing a biodiversity's bird research at the San Rafael National Park (the major Atlantic Forest patch remaining), ringing birds and teaching young students how to carry out a basic research; and doing environmental education with young child and population living at the natural park influence area.  I stayed at Madeira (Portugal) working on two LIFE projects, one to protect the endemic sparrowhawk "Furabardos" and the other to take care of marine birds. The LIFE projects are the UE tool to support and fund the conservation on their territories.   Later I have devoted to natural ecotourism at Extremadura (Spain) and scuba diving tourism at Sharm el Shaik (Egypt), in addition to environmental education, or little research and consultancy tasks. I have a  youtube channel  to outreach environmental issues and my own talks. Is in Spanish, but if you want you could take a look at it.  Currently, I have a job at an environmental consulting at Extremadura (Spain), working about the compensatory measures to take during and after the construction of photovoltaic plants. I take care of bird nests, mitigation and prevention of bird and bat mortality at the high voltage lines, soil restoration, reforestation, etc. I'm glad to carry out this work because I'm sure I'm doing the best to protect the nature while the construction of renewable energy plants are trying to reduce the climate change.  In addition, I take part from two NGOs: Fauna&Vida, a environmental conservation and education organization from Paraguay, where I'm currently the Education and conservation programs Director, and SEO/BirdLife, the ornithological society to protect birds, where I coordinate the volunteer group in my city.
