Hello,
I am Sergio, I am a first year Nicaraguan student at CATIE, in the Master
program Tropical Forest Management and Conservation. I got a degree in Ecology at Universidad
Centroamericana (UCA), Nicaragua.



I have worked on Biodiversity
in agricultural landscapes, working with different taxa (birds, bats, beetles
and butterfly), particularly comparing bird diversity between different landscape elements. I have also
worked as bird-watching instructor and in bird banding programs (MoSI) at several
natural reserves. Currently I am also a volunteer of the Duck Unlimited  program (duck population counting).

 My
interests are landscape ecology: fragmentation effects on biodiversity through different
land use types, biodiversity conservation status on agricultural landscape.

I am glad to be part of this discussion group,
though I am still in the learning English process, at the basic level.

Deacachimba
trabajar con ustedes.

 
Sergio
