I'm actually a grad. student at Conservation Biology school in the University of Maryland at College park. The main interest of my research is wildlife management, actually applied to teach private landowners to use and preserve their wildlife resources. Also I work with biology and taxonomy of birds (in particular raptors), at UNELLEZ.
