Ecosystem management and sustainable development consultancy/worldwide

To whom it may concern

My
work over the years has been primarily on the topics of forest biometrics and
sustainable forest management in projects in both applied scientific research
and technical consultancy. I have also worked on forest ecosystem restoration.
Geographically my work so far has been on the Latin American tropics and
subtropics.
I am especially interested to work in this and
other related fields in Latin America but also elsewhere. I have excellent references and would be delighted to discuss any possible vacancy.


Faithfully yours
