Dr. Camilo Alejo is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Concordia University interested in the interplay of land use, financial incentives, and local values to achieve climate and biodiversity outcomes from a geospatial perspective. Currently, Dr. Alejo coordinates the NSERC Alliance project “Equitable Futures for Nature-based Solutions” at Sustainability in the Digital Age and Future Earth Canada Hub. This project is twofold: It aims to (1) understand Canada’s landscape of Nature-based Solutions and (2) leverage Artificial Intelligence to monitor current and prioritize future conservation and restoration actions. Dr. Alejo envisions research as a dialogue among scientific intelligence, collective intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence to catalyze decision-making for climate and biodiversity
