I research ecology, conservation, and animal behaviour. As a conservationist, it is essential to understand human stakeholders, and so I also do some research in ethnography and human geography of human-non human interactions. I am an amateur visual artist (printmaking) and poet, and I try to involve other artists and writers in conservation outreach projects.

Conservation aims to understand and manage complicated socioecological systems. In studying animal behaviour I seek to understand the simple origins of these systems, or the evolution of how social learning affects behavioral patterns and environment. I am inspired by reading the work of animal psychologists, the old ethologists and even some social psychologists.

Currently I am researching the ecosystem functions, restoration and possible forms of legal protected status for the espinal silvopastoral habitat in Chile. I am also planning a project to "rewild" and sustainably manage espinal with guanacos.
