Carlos Augusto da Silva Peres is a Brazilian field biologist who works in the Amazon and other neotropical forest regions on questions involving wildlife and biological conservation. His interests are in (i) the large-scale patterns of large-bodied vertebrate diversity and abundance in Amazonian forests; (ii) the effects of different forms on human disturbance, including hunting, habitat fragmentation and wildfires, on Amazonian forest vertebrates; and (iii) reserve selection and design criteria in relation to regional gradients of biodiversity value and implementation costs. He currently co-directs three research programs on natural resource management in eastern, southern and western Amazonia focusing on the ecology of natural and heavily modified landscapes and their role in the retention of biodiversity.

hort Biography

Born in Belém, Brazil, in 1963, Carlos Peres was exposed to Amazonian natural history from early childhood, and his father's ranch in eastern Pará, consisting largely of primary forest, became his playground. For the last 20 years he has been studying wildlife community ecology in Amazonian forests and the biological criteria for designing nature reserves. He currently is involved in four research programs on the ecology of key timber and nontimber forest resources in different parts of Amazonia. He has published over 160 papers on neotropical forest ecology and conservation at scales ranging from single populations to entire regional landscapes. In 1995 he received a "Biodiversity Conservation Leadership Award," and in 2000 he was elected an "Environmentalist Leader for the New Millennium" by Time Magazine. He is currently (2008) a Reader at the University of East Anglia, UK, and divides his time between Norwich and fieldwork in the Brazilian Amazon.
