Aula Magna - Produção, Conflitos e Conservação de Espécies - Prof Dr Arnaud Desbiez

This is a way for us to officially inaugurate the group's work, right? And also to publicize it because we still have our registrations open for those of you who are interested in the program. We'll leave the QR code for the announcement in the chat, and I'd also like to take this opportunity to

invite those interested to an open house that we're organizing on July 23rd. So, anyone who wants to learn about the program, ask questions, get more details about the content, and learn about the IPI in Nazaré Paulista, we'd be pleased to welcome you for a morning of conversations and then a chat with us.

We'll also leave the QR code in the chat, and tomorrow when we send you the participation information, we'll send it again. Okay, today we'll have a class here with a very special guest, Professor Dr. Arnaldo. He'll give his class on the air, it will last about 40 minutes, and then we'll have some questions you

want to ask in the chat. Okay, we'll send the professor, and we'll have about 15 minutes after the class to answer. Some of the questions we will be able to answer all of them, but we will try to group them into categories to cover most of your doubts, okay? I would like to

give a brief introduction of Professor Arno before we begin and give the floor to him. Professor Lurdes Vieira was born in France but spent her childhood in the United States. She holds a PhD in biodiversity management from the University of Kent in England and has worked and lived in various places such as Belize, Argentina, Bolivia,

Nepal, and has been in Brazil for 19 years. Professor Arno is the founder of the NGO DICAS ( Institute for the Conservation of Wild Animals), which oversees two projects he coordinates: the conservation program for giant anteaters and anteaters on highways, among others. His work has been featured in National Geographic and various other media outlets.
