Nota biográfica

As minhas principais áreas de interesse centram-se na compreensão do desenvolvimento sociocultural dos seres humanos, das relações entre os humanos e a vida selvagem, e da influência das atividades antropogénicas na biodiversidade. Tenho uma grande paixão pela inclusão de crenças culturais existentes nas estratégias de conservação e pelo reconhecimento do papel fundamental das pessoas que partilham o seu território com espécies protegidas. A minha investigação e trabalho prático até à data têm utilizado dados socioecológicos interdisciplinares para compreender e abordar dinâmicas e questões de conservação. Estou interessada em desenvolver esta abordagem, desenvolvendo técnicas inovadoras para alcançar resultados de conservação mais eficazes e sustentáveis a longo prazo. Licenciei-me com distinção em História e Antropologia (2017) e conclui um mestrado em Conservação de Primatas (Interface Humano-Primata) (2018) na Oxford Brookes University, no Reino Unido. Tenho desenvolvido investigação e desempenhado funções práticas de conservação na África Ocidental e no Sudeste Asiático, onde tenho vindo a desenvolver e aplicar competências nesta área. Nas funções de Gestora Adjunta de Conservação na Serra Leoa e de Assessora Técnica de Investigação na Guiné-Bissau, realizei estudos sobre a utilização espaço-temporal dos habitats por humanos e animais, projetos de conservação comunitária e programas de educação ambiental, com um foco particular nos chimpanzés. Tenho uma enorme vontade de aprofundar esta investigação, com o objetivo de compreender melhor as práticas e perceções locais sobre a vida selvagem e os projetos de conservação, de modo a integrar aquilo que as comunidades já fazem nas abordagens de conservação. Assim, em setembro de 2021, iniciei um doutoramento em Antropologia no ISCTE e na NOVA FCSH.
