Silva, Jeronimo

I have been working with wildlife research and natural resources conservation since 2010. My experience reflects my interest in stream ecology, endangered species demographics and habitat requirements, spatial modeling, and assessing species status using molecular approaches. As a private land’s biologist, I am excited to transition from research into management, and assist with the implementation of conservation practices that will enhance Hellbender habitat across several watersheds in Tennessee.
