Research interestsArturo holds a PhD in natural and rural systems management and has over 15 years of experience in management, planning and management effectiveness evaluation of protected areas. He is a former Director of the Galapagos Islands National Park and Marine Reserve and World Heritage Area. He was also Senior Officer for the WWF Central America Programme which involved bioregional planning, coordinating conservation activities in the Mesoamerican Caribbean Reef Ecoregion and evaluating conservation projects in the Central American region. Before coming to Australia in 2003, Arturo was managing a GEF-UNDP project on Introduced Species in the Galapagos Islands. He was also a member of a ‘task force’ of the World Commission on Protected Areas supporting the development of a Framework to Assess Management Effectiveness of Protected Areas, which have now been applied to about 6000 protected areas in more than 100 countries around the world. Arturo's research interests have focused on providing tools to engage community leaders and stakeholders in the management of natural resources, particularly those within protected areas (land and marine) in Central and South America and in Queensland, Australia. His expertise in protected area management, community participation, evaluation and Participatory Action Research approaches are now being applied to the jointly managed protected areas in the Northern Territory in Australia.
