In tapir land

Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction, tapir populations are decreasing. However the Ejido of Nuevo Becal located in the State of Campeche in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico has the privilege to host tapirs. Throughout my field work trying to understand the role of tapirs in the ecosystem i have worked with the community of Nuevo Becal. This poster is a small window to the life of Nuevo Becal, a tapir land!

Imagination in the field

One of the moments i enjoy the most when doing field work is having a simple but delicious meal after a full day of work. While my field guide was preparing some amazing tortillas I decided to have an art contest between my field assistant, my supervisor and myself. Certainly my supervisor was the winner!! Have you ever seen a TAPIR TORTILLA? 

In the tropics

Mammals of the world or I should say mammals of the tropics. One day in the field makes me wonder and dream. Two peccaries and a monkey came with me today to find those experiments of mine in this tapir land.

Pensamientos en el campo

Es un rayo de tu sol mi México, el que me guía a mi pueblo

Una sonrisa y tu cielo se pierden en el tiempo

Culturas perdidas y abrazos siempre abiertos

Y yo pienso en ti mi México

Con tu pueblo pobre en busca de un cielo

Tus olores y sabores me siguen hasta el duelo

Oh tierra escondida tu eres mi pueblo!!

Mexico

Un lugar místico llamado México

donde las flores y ríos se juntan en la falda de los volcanes

Tierra y hombre bajo un mismo techo

Paraíso perdido en tierra de nadie

Y yo te añoro con jubilo y anhelo

Y tu sonrisa emotiva me lleva a tu entierro
