Brief Biography:

Carolina is a biologist with a Master's in Biological Sciences (2007) from the Simon Bolivar University, Venezuela. During the Master's thesis she studied the habitat use trough radio-telemetry and feeding ecology of another endangered Cracid in the Venezuelan Llanos, the Yellow-knobbed Curassow (Crax daubentoni). Between 2007-2012 she worked at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as Caura River Conservation Program General Coordinator and Researcher, coordinating several wildlife management and community-based conservation projects (including fishes, mammals, reptiles and Cracid species) in southern Venezuela. Since 2006 she is the Regional Coordinator of the former Cracid Specialist Group -IUCN-SSC/WPA (now the Cracid Group of the Galliformes Specialist Group-IUCN/SSC) for Venezuela, Caribe and the Guianas. Currently she is coordinating the project “Use and conservation of cinegetic semi-terrestrial birds (Cracidae and Tinamidae) in the Piagaçu Purus Sustainable Development Reserve”, within the Wildlife Use and Management Program (PROMUF) of the Piagaçu Institute.
