Justo Camargo is a Panamanian dedicated to promoting environmental conservation through his work. He studied Biology for three years at the University of Panama (Universidad de Panamá).

With extensive field experience, he has conducted studies on topics ranging from the structure and functioning of tropical forests to migratory bird censuses. In 2005, he published Common Bird Sounds from the Metropolitan Natural Park, the first compact disc featuring bird sounds from a protected area in Panama. This project was supported by USAID, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and Cleveland Metroparks.

​

His passion for nature started at a young age. From 2006 to 2009, he was the host of Ecoaventuras, a government-run television program that promoted the conservation and exploration of Panama’s protected areas and tourist destinations. After this, he studied ornithology, covering various aspects of bird biology, including ecology, behavior, physiology, and taxonomy.

​

Justo has also studied mammals and participated as a field technician in the ecological assessment of Escudo de Veraguas Island, focusing on bird populations for the island’s potential designation as a protected area.

 

Additionally, he contributed as a field technician to Where to Find Birds in Panama, a notable guide for birdwatchers, and worked on Audubon Panama’s Bay of Panama project, supporting conservation efforts in this critical coastal ecosystem.​

 

His expertise extends to research, having worked with the Smithsonian Institution on the project Effects of Tree Diversity on Bird Biodiversity.
