Giacomo Cremonesi – Assessing the impact of human activities on wildlife in Myanmar tropical forests using emerging technologies
I’m Giacomo,I have a master degree in Ecobiology achieved at La Sapienza University of Rome. I have already had the pleasure of collaborating in both of my theses with the group UAGRA and this year I will start my PhD. The principals aims of my work will be:
– Increase knowledge on distribution and ecology of medium-large endangered mammals in tropical forests
– Evaluation of human activities and their role on degradation of tropical ecosystems
– Identification of criticalities for conservation and planning of improving management strategies currently in progress

Space invaders!
This is the first study that confirms the invasiveness of the Pallas’s squirrel also in terms of capability to compete with native species. UAGRA shows how the Palla’s squirrel in Italy competes with the Eurasian red squirrel for space and food resources. Read more here.
