Augusto Gomes

I’m a Brazilian biologist, nature photographer and filmmaker. I’ve always been amazed by the grandeur of landscapes, the diversity of life, and the mysteries of our universe. Visiting the remaining wilderness on Earth and fighting for its conservation have become a life purpose. For 10 years, I’ve been involved in the research and conservation of South American nature, especially mountains, caves and bats, issues I have worked on my graduate and Master studies. I’ve worked as an environmental consultant and collaborated with several NGOs and the Public Ministry of Brazil in the development and implementation of conservation strategies, scientific research and biodiversity awareness. Nowadays I work as a nature photographer and filmmaker, focusing on environment, natural history and conservation. I’m a contributor of National Geographic, BBC Studios, bioGraphic Magazine, The Guardian, among others.
