Moisés is the Executive Director of Asociación Ambiental Cerúlea, leading the team's efforts to protect local biodiversity and restore vital natural habitats. From the very early days of his childhood, he decided he would become a paleontologist as an adult. Years passed, and life had other plans for him, but his love and admiration for nature and science never waned. He graduated as a biotechnology engineer, but life later led him toward corporate sustainability.
Today, he balances his deep commitment to conservation by dividing his time between his role at Cerúlea and serving as a lead for certification bodies. In this corporate capacity, he assesses and verifies the compliance of public and private organizations with international standards on topics ranging from environmental impact and production practices to human rights and gender equality. This role has given him the chance to raise awareness and promote impactful changes in a corporate setting, which is not always easy to reach in today’s capitalist and results-oriented world.
When he’s out in the field, he channels his love for nature through birding and nature photography, often accompanied by his wife and kids, who are an important part of his motivation to preserve and raise awareness about today’s pressing issues affecting Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity.
