Entry #18: How to Create a Protected Area with Manuel Sanchez

Manuel Sanchez is an Ecuadorian ornithologist and science communicator who joined our expedition in Ecuador this year to run the bird surveys. Manuel grew up in Southern Ecuador and fell in love with the hundreds of bird species he found in the forests around his home. He went on to study tourism, but with a strong focus on ecology, and then science communication in Edinburgh, Scotland before making his way back home. Manuel's biggest passion is using rapid biodiversity assessments to protect threatened ecosystems across Ecuador and northern South America by engaging local people and politicians to move projects forward. Manuel has been all over, from contested territory in Colombia to endangered ecosystems in Turkey, to register and protect birds. As you'll hear, he strongly believes that in conservation biology, getting data is only have the work. To make an impact, you have to know how to get politicians and local people on your side. In this episode, we discuss how Manuel uses soundscapes to rapidly assess an area, and his love for engaging local communities in his work.
