Verónica Ribeiro

I graduated in Biology in 2024 at the University of Porto, where I am currently a second-year Master's student in Ecology and Environment at the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP). Since the beginning of my academic journey, I have had the opportunity to participate in diverse environmental volunteer activities that sparked my particular interest in nature conservation and ecological restoration. Currently, my master's thesis aims to improve knowledge about the effectiveness of techniques to aid the natural regeneration of oak trees, especially the holm oak (Quercus rotundifolia), in a regional context, and to understand the role that wildlife plays in their dispersal.
