Today Mary is talking to Ramiro D. Crego.

Ramiro is a conservation biologist from Argentina, living on the farm at Burren Nature Sanctuary with his wife Nora and their rescue cat, Alba and currently working remotely as a postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, USA.

Ramiro has been studying birds and mammals inhabiting semi-arid grasslands of Argentina and Kenya, and temperate forests in southern Chile. In his studies, Ramiro investigates how our human actions are affecting ecosystems to find conservation solutions that can benefit both wildlife and the people that live and depend on it. Ramiro is also interested in addressing the interconnection between ecology and society from a biocultural conservation approach, using metaphors that integrate ecological research with philosophy and native American worldviews.
