Tales of the forest Keepers
It is estimated that there are around 600 Jícaro Danto trees left in the wild. These trees rely heavily on the endangered Baird’s Tapir, the only animal able to disperse the fibrous fruits. Besides habitat fragmentation, tapirs now face a new challenge: the rise of the screwworm. See the story here

About
About
Welcome
I am a photojournalist specializing in issues encompassing ecology, conservation, and natural history.
My background in biology has provided me with a profound understanding of the scientific world and the wonders it has revealed. However, through years of working in the field with communities and local organizations to conserve or protect endangered species, I realized that the transfer of scientific knowledge into practice was lacking. Not particularly the efforts of the work, but the efficiency of a proven scientific plan transferred to (the people in) an area.
With one foot in the academic world and one out in the field, I hope my photos can connect the two and give a voice to scientists, conservationists, or the local community working to protect the rapidly declining and immensely important natural world.
