JHONATHAN ALEX TTITO BUSTAMANTE

Explorer, researcher, and consultant. My goal is to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems, with an emphasis on studies in Evolution, Ecology, and Environmental Management. I aim to actively participate in the processes of formation, development, and monitoring of Protected Natural Areas, Conservation Areas, and areas of interest, conducting research that contributes to their conservation, protection, and restoration, as well as providing alternatives for the sustainable management of natural resources for human populations.
