I am a master’s thesis student in ethnoecology at ICTA-UAB, passionate about the connections between natural and social dynamics through biocultural approaches. As part of my research, I collaborate with the IEK-Changes team and the Tsimane’ people in Bolivia to study how Indigenous knowledge of plants is changing and its impact on local environmental management and biodiversity conservation. Additionally, I analyze the Cultural Keystone Species (CKS) database as a potential ethnobiological tool to better understand the relationship between cultural and biological diversity. I hold a BSc in Biology (UAB) and an MSc in History of Science and Society (UAB-UB), specializing in Scientific Communication and Natural Heritage. Currently, I am completing a second MSc in Ecology, Environmental Management, and Restoration (UB).
