About Dr. Cecila Sanchez-Garduño, 

Cecilia obtained her PhD in Ecology from Imperial College, UK studying the tropical tree species Brosimum alicastrum (ramon, maya nut).   Since then she has worked for the sustainable value of the maya nut for food, fodder, ecosystem services, and income. As part of the international yet small team of the Maya Nut Institute, Cecilia implements grassroots and research projects on the mentioned species by building national and international alliances with over 20 government, academic, and civil organizations.   Cecilia has formed a horizontal team with indigenous women with whom her group produces measurable impacts in health, food security, forest protection, recovery of indigenous knowledge, and income generation in rural families. 

Her family includes her husband Chris, and her 19 yr old son, Alex.  Both are an active part in the promotion and field trips of this program.  Cecilia works pro bono.   Cecilia and her family live in Cuernavaca where she gets involved in other environmental programs.
