Manuel Caria

Darwin

Summary

Biologist graduated at University of Évora in Portugal. After graduating, I have acquired knowledge in plant taxonomy, field inventory methods, georeferencing and dendrometry, having mostly worked with tree and shrub species in the region of Lisbon, Portugal. My personal interest in plants derives form my learning experience of the bachelor's degree in Biology that I endorsed in Evora, as well as my general interest in plants for their ecological, conservational, cultural, gastronomical and medicinal properties.

I have previously lived abroad, in the United Kingdom, Birmingham, have worked in tourism extensively and acquired language proficiency in English, French and Spanish, Portuguese being my native language.

I have traveled to Australia in hopes of further developing my scientific and conservational skillset, and look forward to getting to know the local flora and fauna more intimately.
