She has worked for several years on ecology of birds and mammals, as well as the use of fauna by communities for the proposal of management and conservation programs. She has been looking for alternatives; one of them, has been the work that we proposed on bird watching in the state since one side, requires basic knowledge and the other application. Thus, in recent years, the government sector has looked to this area and therefore was awarded a state distinction for the effort in the study and conservation of the birds of Campeche in 2013.

Preserving biodiversity is difficult for many reasons. Biodiversity is complex and changing, and also includes all hierarchical levels ranging from genes to ecosystems. Furthermore, it is complicated to include all the ecological and evolutionary processes in which biodiversity participates, making it unmanageable to conserve it all. However, we need to know the basic aspects of biodiversity such as: where it is, and what it is doing in those spaces. Simultaneously, the work of conservation biologists is to identify which of the "apocalypse riders", or man-made factors, are affecting biodiversity at different points in time and space, and suggest actions to counteract or diminish their effects. The riders of the apocalypse are the loss of habitats, fragmentation, illegal hunting/trafficking, pollution, climate change, and dispersion of alien invasive species.
