Carolina Tavares de Freitas

I am an early-career scientist with a robust training base in Ecology and a particular expertise in Human Ecology. Over my academic trajectory, I obtained an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ (2010), a Master's of Science degree in Ecology at the Nacional Institute for Amazonian Research - INPA (2013), and a PhD degree in Ecology at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN (2019). During the past nine years, I have been working in the Amazon, where I did field work in different river basins and conducted both biological surveys and interviews with local people. My main research interest is the study of natural resources management, aimed at finding alternatives to reconcile biodiversity conservation with human well-being. (Fonte: Currículo Lattes)
