Arnaldo Vieira
Arnaldo Vieira is from Limoeiro do Norte, a small town located in the countryside of Ceará state. During his teenage years, he moved to Fortaleza, the state capital, to complete his high school education. A few years later, he relocated to the state of Paraíba to study Biology at Paraíba Federal University (UFPB). It was during his time at UFPB that he developed an interest in the birds of the Caatinga biome, which sparked a lifelong passion for ornithology.
Even after graduating as a biologist in 2007, Arnaldo remained dedicated to studying birds. He has spent his professional career trying to understand the biology, ecological and evolutionary relationships, the distribution of communities, and the strategies that can be adopted to conserve this fantastic diversity of birds in Brazil. Over the past 15 years, he has traveled to many different regions of the country, seeing hundreds of birds and photographing over 500 species of birds from the Amazon to the Atlantic Forest.
At BBE, Arnaldo’s primary duty is to prepare checklists of possible bird species that can be observed on the different tours offered by the company. These checklists aim to optimize the trips and ensure a better experience for the customers.
