Introduction
I am a PhD student, at the UNBC as a part of the Conservation solutions Lab (https://oscarventer.net/people/). I am an Engineer, with a Master degree in Geomatics. My research experience has focused on the development of spatial analysis for a better understanding of environmental processes and deforestation. My overarching goal is to contribute to the development of effective solutions to environmental problems informed by spatial and analytic methods.

Habitat loss is the leading cause of the global decline in biodiversity, but the influence of human pressure within the matrix surrounding habitat fragments remains poorly understood. Here, we measure the relationship between fragmentation (the degree of fragmentation and the degree of patch isolation), matrix condition (measured as the extent of h...
Habitat loss is the leading cause of global biodiversity decline, but the influence of human pressure within the matrix surrounding habitat fragments remains poorly understood. Here we measure the relationship between fragmentation, matrix condition (measured as the extent of high human footprint levels), and the change in extinction risk of 4,327...
