    Alexander Velazquez
    Opportunity builder

    Biologist by profession with a Master's and doctorate in science and biology. Staunch lover of the Amazon and connoisseur of the environmental and social reality of my territory. My experience in the conservation and sustainable development of biodiversity and its ecosystem services has allowed me to generate alternatives for the promotion of scientific nature tourism. I am convinced that the social representations of the Colombian Amazon will allow us to create environmental awareness for the protection of forests. Teaching is a strength to train nature-loving professionals, which is why I have been integrating knowledge into biodiversity research for more than 20 years. I have focused on researching the impact of production systems on biodiversity. Cocoa fanatic and its implications for conservation.

    Lawyer with training in Geography, Permaculture, Green Growth and Leadership. With more than 8 years at the service of rural development in Colombia, I believe in the need to improve and evolve the relationship between nature and society.
