Flavia Tirelli is a Brazilian research scientist and conservationist focused on mammalian carnivores especially small wildcats. After completing her Masters at Federal University of Rio Grande o Sul (UFRGS) and her PhD at the private university (PUCRS) in Brazil, Flavia continues to follow her passion by monitoring wildcats and addressing issues of human-wildlife conflict that threaten them.
Flavia has since founded the Geoffroy’s Cat Working Group and other community initiatives to heal human-wildlife conflict and conserve these rare carnivores. The key to Flavia’s success is community engagement and diversity within the conservation space and we talk all about her experiences as an ecologist in Brazil, and her advice for other people looking to follow a similar profession.
