About Sofía's Work
I am a Dr. in Biological Sciences and my research expertise lies at the intersection of Conservation Biology, Land System Science and Human Dimensions of Wildlife. My main research theme centers on understanding the consequences of anthropic land-use change on medium-large mammal conservation, and the socioecological factors that affect human-wildlife coexistence in different social-ecological systems, with focus on the Argentine Dry Chaco and other land systems of northwest Argentina. I am particularly interested in working jointly with local stakeholders to co-design strategies fostering coexistence and biodiversity conservation that are aligned with the interests, needs and possibilities of the people sharing the land with wildlife.
