An educational and cultural initiative that transforms scientific and traditional knowledge into illustrated stories inspired by Bolivian biodiversity.
Connects science, art, and emotion to strengthen children’s relationship with their natural environment; combines conservation, environmental education, and creative economy; creates high-quality educational materials that promote local and global ecological awareness.
We aim to understand the impacts of wildfires on the vegetation of the Chiquitano Dry Forest, as well as its capacity for regeneration and recovery. Our work spans multiple scales — from individuals and species to communities and landscapes.
Our main research questions are:
How does the Chiquitano Dry Forest respond (in terms of survival and recovery) to different intensities and frequencies of wildfires?
Which functional traits best explain the response of trees in terms of recovery or mortality caused by fire?
What mechanisms at the individual and community levels drive vegetation recovery, and how do these mechanisms help us understand the long-term impacts of wildfires?Details of the project here
