He has been working with the Conservation Program of the Peruvian Society for Environmental Law - SPDA since 2005. He has worked as a legal advisor of the Peruvian national, regional and local authorities responsible of managing protected areas and has been active in the elaboration of regulations that provide incentives for conservation initiatives.
