Back to stories listingAurora undertook her undergraduate biology degree in Tenerife before completing an MSc in Wildlife Conservation at the University of Bristol. Fascinated in birds from a young age, and with a professional licence that allows her to legally handle and ring them, Aurora is undertaking her PhD working on the effect of deforestation of the Peruvian Amazon on tropical rainforest avian communities.
Her innovative project involves combining analysis of secondary data collected over many years (but never analysed!) from a link organisation, Fauna Forever, in order to compare bird communities from primary rainforest and selectively logged areas. She is supplementing this with primary fieldwork in Peru and novel bioacoustic analysis.
