About Ignacio

My journey began in Badajoz, studying Barn Swallows. This decade in evolutionary ecology led to a Ph.D. and a deep scientific foundation. Seeking real-world impact, I moved from Extremadura to Asturias and Northern Portugal to track emblematic species like the Pyrenean desman and the Iberian wolf, linking academic rigor and on-the-ground conservation.

This field experience was my first contact with biodiversity tech, from radio-tracking to GIS, laying my foundations in MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification).

But I identified a critical mismatch: scientific data must translate into scalable corporate action. My mission is now clear: bridging the gap between ecology and enterprise.

Currently, I research biodiversity in solar plants, blending traditional methods with ecoacoustics. I now focus on Nature Tech and TNFD, helping organizations treat biodiversity as a strategic asset.

How I can help you:

- Data Analysis & MRV: Transforming complex metrics (ecoacoustics, GIS) into insights for corporate decision-making.

- Nature Tech & TNFD Consultancy: Strategic advisory to align operations with nature-positive frameworks.

- Project Design & Validation: Ensuring conservation projects are ecologically sound, audit-ready, and science-based.

- Remote Monitoring: Designing tech-driven systems (Ecoacoustics, Camera Trapping) for large-scale infrastructures.

- Career Mentoring: Guidance for scientists pivoting from academia to the private sector.

If your organization needs a partner who speaks the language of nature and data, our missions align.
