Bio

Juan Martin Dabezies 

My specific work context in the department is within the TREPA project (Threat Reduction for the Environment, People and Animals, Meredith Gore PI), which aims to reduce security risks arising from the intersection of human-wildlife conflict and animal disease, focusing on South Africa and Mozambique. I am also a professor at the University of the Republic, Uruguay, where I lead a study group on human and non-animal relations. In this context, I also work on conservation, biosecurity, and public policy issues in Latin America.
