FIU researcher Alessandro Catenazzi helped gather the critical information needed to expedite the establishment of nine new protected areas in one of the most biologically diverse regions of Peru.
The Institute of Environment biologist was part of a large collaborative conservation effort led by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The team’s extensive rapid biological and social inventory work helped quadruple the previous number of protected areas in Loreto, an expanse of Amazonian lowlands and Andean foothills bordering Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador.
The study led by Dr. Nigel Pitman (Field Museum) was published today in Science Advances. Read more about our lab's contribution at https://news.fiu.edu/2021/researcher-helps-collect-key-data-to-establish-9-new-protected-areas-in-peru.
