ANDRÉ VALLE NUNES

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my professional website.

I am currently a fellow in the Institutional Training Program(PCI- CNPq) at the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi linked to the National Research Institute of the Pantanal (INPP), and a member of the Research Network on Diversity, Conservation and Use of the Amazon Fauna (REDEFAUNA). My scientific work aims to integrate ecosystem services and social-ecological systems for safeguard biodiversity, livelihoods and food security of tropical forest dwellers.
