Leandro Macchi

I am an ecologist focusing in the complexities generated by land use changes through degradation/deforestation processes in the natural habitats and fauna of South American ecosystems. I focused on questions related to bird ecology, foraging behavior and their relation to land use changes in North Argentina. I am interested in the trade-offs between food production and conservation and conservation strategies to reconcile these objectives. I explored the trade-offs between economic production, biodiversity and carbon stocks in the past. Currently focus also in the topics of human-nature conectnedness and biocultural heritage.
