2012 Scholar Profile:
In 2009 I received my degree in veterinary medicine. I spent about two years working in clinic for small species and a few months working with a hydroelectric company studying bats in tunnels, in Juayúa, El Salvador. I started my work in conservation in November 2011 when I started working on livestock-jaguar conflicts with WCS. We developed a project to promote the conservation of the jaguar among farmers, to teach techniques of livestock conflict mitigation, and to study the perception of the conservation of the jaguar at different levels of the population.
