Camila I. Donatti, Ph.D.
Senior Director, Climate Change Adaptation, Moore Center for Science
Camila Donatti is an ecologist working to understand and communicate the importance of healthy ecosystems for people and biodiversity. Since 2011, Camila’s work has focused on using the best available science to plan, implement and monitor nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation — the restoration, management and protection of ecosystems to help people and nature to adapt to climate change. Camila also has experience addressing the impacts of human-driven activities on plant and animal interactions in the tropics.
Camila has a Ph.D. in biological sciences from Stanford University, a master’s degree in ecology from the University of São Paulo in Brazil and an undergraduate degree in ecology from São Paulo State University inBrazil. Camila has participated in more than 20 scientific projects and has authored nearly 40 peer-reviewed publications.
