Biologist
Jaemy Herrera is a dedicated biologist and researcher in a prominent conservation program in the Amazon. A graduate in Biology from the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos with a PhD in Science specializing in Ecology and Evolution from Universidad Austral de Chile, Jaemy brings a strong academic background and a deep understanding of the complex interactions that define tropical ecosystems. Specializing in birds, primates, and plants, his work focuses on analyzing large databases to reveal animal behavior patterns that are not immediately perceptible. This research contributes to a greater understanding of the evolutionary dynamics occurring in the Amazon—a unique ecosystem whose biodiversity and balance have evolved in complex ways over millions of years. The spider monkey is a key species in his research due to its ecological role and the insights it provides into primate behavior and adaptation in their natural habitat. Proficient in English and Portuguese, Jaemy collaborates on international research projects. His commitment to continuous learning and scientific and technological advancement drives him to explore new methodologies and insights that strengthen conservation efforts. With an integrative perspective, Jaemy is dedicated to highlighting the value of each species and its unique role within this irreplaceable ecosystem, contributing valuable knowledge toward the protection of Amazonian wildlife.
