We congratulate our PhD student, João Paulo de Oliveira Xavier, from our Graduate Program in Ecology, on his participation in the 8th GEF Assembly (Global Environment Facility), held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in early June 2026.
Fifteen fellows from the FUNBIO Fonseca Leadership Program were selected, with only two Brazilian fellows participating through support provided by the FUNBIO Scholarships Program – Conserving the Future. The initiative aims to develop a new generation of conservation leaders.
We are very happy and proud of your achievement, João!
