In specific, the recognition goes to his vision of the management of fauna and biodiversity in the rural world and in the mountain regions for the maintenance of the territory.

He is co-author of more than ninety books of scientific thought and dissemination. He has received numerous awards and recognitions.

In terms of wildlife management, he is a great advocate of carrying out a rapid intervention in the evaluation of the impacts of fauna in the primary sector, as well as regulating the number of specimens that mountain regions can absorb.
