Wagner Tadeu Vieira Santiago is a leading ecologist and researcher in the field of conservation biology, mammal ecology and global environmental impacts. He has a PhD in Biology and Ecology of Global Change from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, since 2016, where he developed his thesis on the ecology of medium and large mammal communities in the state of Tocantins, Brazil.
With a career dedicated to biodiversity, conservation and environmental monitoring, he is currently Director of Biolex Consultoria Ambiental Ltda.-EPP, based in Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil, where he leads environmental impact and sustainable natural resource management projects.
He is a member of The Synergize Consortium, an international biodiversity research network that studies ecological interactions and large-scale environmental impacts.
