Maria Muchanga Davissone, Mozambique, Graduate student at Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo. I am teaching a subject related to Conservation of Biodiversity and my goal is to train professionals to be able to contribute to the socio economic development of the country and ensure that this development is based on environmentally sound practices, and contribute to the Conservation of Biodiversity. To achieve these objectives I am doing Masters in Working Capital and Biodiversity Conservation.

I hope that through my participation in this Symposium, I acquire more knowledge about biodiversity conservation and experiences on how conservation of biodiversity is done in other countries. Especially in conservation of areas with communities that use natural resources for their survival. Thus, I will be able to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and also for the development of Mozambique.
