    About

    Hi! My name is Gustavo Gatti. I’m a Brazilian nature conservation planner and practitioner, currently pursuing studies as a SOPR student. I hold a degree in Forest Engineering and a Master’s in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil.

    Throughout my career, I’ve been deeply committed to finding a balance between living well and allowing nature to thrive. As humanity faces unprecedented challenges, my academic work explores how we can better understand and appreciate the services nature has been providing us with and how we can act as responsible stewards within the complex web of life.

    My current research focuses on the social and environmental benefits of unconventional, environmentally friendly food production systems. Specifically, I study erva-mate agroforestry in the Atlantic Forest as part of the global Food Learning and Growing (FLOW) Initiative.

    Outside of work, I’m passionate about the outdoors. Whether hiking, climbing, cycling, backcountry camping, or simply enjoying time with nature, family, and friends. I’m grateful and excited to be spending this chapter of my life in beautiful Canada.
