Ana E. BONATO ASATO

Biologist, Ecologist

I'm a Brazilian citizen; potiguar. My cultural formation and academic history have built in me a passion for diversity - in all senses - and a devotion to everything that's alive. This also came with a strong theoretical connection between the life sciences and everyday actions, showing me that everything around is is political and affects us.

"Ecology without class warfare is just gardening." - Chico Mendes
