Carmo Silva is a PhD fellow at the Conservation Biology Unit (Department of Biology, University of Évora), having a degree in Biology and having completed her Masters in Conservation Biology, both from the University of Évora. The theme of her thesis is “Rewilding and rewiring animal-plant interactions in road verges: measuring the provision and regulation of ecosystem services in a Green Infrastructure”. Her domain of expertise focuses on the Conservation, Biology and Ecology of non-flying terrestrial mammals, in particular small mammals and carnivores; and ecosystem services and functionality, such as studies of seed dispersal by carnivores and connectivity in recovering degraded areas. She has worked as a Science and Technology Manager in several national and international projects focused on the conservation and rehabilitation of fauna in places impacted by humanity, such as quarries and linear infrastructures in Portugal. Since 2007, Carmo has been involved in a long-term project aimed at ecologically restoring quarries, where she has dealt with impact assessment, implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring of faunal communities in order to promote good practice guidelines. She has authored several publications in indexed journals, books and other outreach content. Carmo was part of coordination teams for seminars, workshops and international conferences. Her research area focuses on the relationship between nature conservation and human activities, looking for commitments to promote the sustainable use of resources.
