To create a meeting and support point for young researchers to help them develop their potential and thus contribute the growth and sharing of scientific knowledge, with the ultimate goal of protecting the environment.
Nature is interconnected and RIAMA believes in a scientific world that works in the same way.
We are a team of researchers with different backgrounds who also took separate paths to start in the research world. Nevertheless, we have something really important in common; our passion for nature conservation and science.

“I got initiated in the research field during my college years as I collaborated in the Ecology department of my university. In the present my research is focused on the assembly of herbaceous communities. I was lucky to find my path early, however not all my classmates had that chance, this is why I believe the role of RIAMA is so important.”

“I am specialized in GIS and remote sensing. My current focus of study are the effects of climate change in the effectiveness of protected areas. All of this was possible thanks to the support of a researcher, expert in models of species distribution, who not only taught me, but also planted the seed of scientific curiosity in me.”
