PassionsI live in the Colombian Amazon, in the Guaviare, a place where the birds sing every morning to welcome me, and the rivers roar help me cool down. I used to live in Africa and then travelled for 5 years in Latin America, residing among indigenous peoples, such as the Bri-bris in Costa Rica, the Kogis in Colombia, the Qeros in Peru, the Uchupiamona in Bolivia, and the Guaranis in Paraguay. I am passionate about archeology (I (re) discovered ruins in Peru) and ancient arts, but do not mind trying to understand quantum physics or modern art. I like literature and philosophy, love cinema thats makes you dream intelligently. I am interested in the present and the past, because the future concerns us all.

BackgroundI am the founder of the Guardians of the Amazon (2024-), an NGO dedicated to protecting the Amazon and its original inhabitants. I am also a tourism promoter (2024-), aiming to offer alternatives to former guerrillas and drug traffickers in Colombia. I am a freelance journalist (2020-), helping sometimes marginalized communities to make their voice heard. I am also an international consultant on human rights (2023-), helping activists to pursue their goals with maximum efficiency. I hold a master's degree in international relations from the Graduate institute (2001-2005), I am the former director of programmes of UPR Info (2008-2017), an international human rights NGO that I co-founded. I was also national manager at EAGLE (an NGO fighting against trafficking in protected animals, 2017-2019). In this role, I was in charge of infiltrating criminal networks to put an end to their illegal activities. I was member of the Committee of the Green party of Geneva (2011-2012), in Switzerland. As a volunteer journalist and activist for Amnesty International's Swiss chapter (2010-2013), I organized many activities to denounce the death penalty and torture all over the world. Finally, I am the author of Pour une poignée d'ivoire (2023), a book about my experience in wildlife counter-trafficking in Africa.

I honor the ethical and practical fights, that is to say those for which my action can make a difference for the most disadvantaged, be they humans or animals.
