Juan Yépez

Juan Yépez is the director of Big Mammals Conservation, where he manages wildlife and environmental assessment projects in Ecuador. He has been actively involved in conservation efforts across various provinces, but has faced significant challenges due to the rise in organized crime and violence, which has led to the cancellation of several important projects. Yépez's work underscores the urgent need for effective conservation strategies in light of the threats posed by illegal activities in the region.
