Renata Pardini

Renata Pardini is a conservation scientist and associate professor at the Institute of Biosciences, University of São Paulo. She has 25 years of experience with multi-taxonomic, large-scale, field projects addressing the structure of ecological communities in anthropogenic landscapes of the Atlantic Forest. Her work has contributed to the identification of ecological thresholds in forest cover to maintain biodiversity in these landscapes – a key guideline for designing conservation policies, as well as to the understanding of the ecological processes –dispersal, drift, and interactions – to the (dis)assemblage of these communities under disturbance. Since 2010, she has started inter- and transdisciplinary research lines focusing on the human-nature relationships and how they are affected by ongoing socioecological changes, and on the ways to effectively constructing collaborations between scientists and decisionmakers. Together with researchers from the Federal University of Bahia, she has been participating in coproduction initiatives with politicians and technical analysts from governmental organizations.
