Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSara Mortara is an ecologist and data-driven researcher with over eight years of experience translating tropical forest science into scalable restoration practice across academia, NGOs, and the private sector. Holding a Ph.D. in Ecology, she combines statistical modeling in R, ecological database management, and field experimentation to guide Nature-Based Solutions in the Atlantic and Amazon Forests. At re.green she bridges theory and on-the-ground restoration, integrating multidisciplinary evidence to inform practical decision-making. She has taught sampling design and statistical modeling, led community and solidarity-economy projects, and spent a formative research year at the University of Maine—an uncommon blend that sharpens both her quantitative rigor and stakeholder-facing communication. Outside work she contributes to open, reproducible data science in ecology and brings a curious, creative bent to biodiversity patterns, cooking, and dance.
