Thesis Topic:
Social Perspectives Related to Monarch Butterfly Habitat Restoration
in Mexico and United States.Short
Bio:
I earned my
bachelors degree in biology from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM)
in 2004. After my undergraduate studies I participated as a consultant
with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for about two years developing different
activities in the ecological, social and academically fields within the
Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and its influence zone in Mexico. In
August of 2006, I earned a scholarship sponsored by the United States
Agency of International Development (USAID) and Colorado State University
(CSU) to obtain a master’s degree in Protected Area Management. My thesis
is focused on the social perspectives
of different stakeholder groups involved in monarch habitat restoration in
Mexico and the United States, two of the countries involved in the monarch
migration route.
In the present, one of my principal goals is to increase my knowledge
related to social and economical concerns linked to the protected areas of
my Country.
