Cristina Alonso Moya

KTT specialist

PROGRAM / Conservation biology

Graduated in Biology from the Autonomous University of Madrid, she completed a Master's in Behavior Ecology and Wildlife Management at the Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (Dijon, France), participating in research projects in Spain (MNCN-CSIC) and Portugal (CIBIO-InBIO) on animal behavior ecology, bioacoustics, 3D modeling, spectrophotometry, and bird evolution. Her interest focuses on the relationship between ethology, conservation, and evolution, with an emphasis on species rehabilitation, applied bioacoustics, and scientific communication.

She has developed her career in conservation and scientific research. She worked at BirdLife Malta as a reserve assistant, combining outreach, habitat restoration, bird monitoring, and research, with training in bird ringing. Later, she joined the University of Alicante as a senior technician in the "Evolutionary Changes in Threatened Species" research line, focusing on the conservation of the Dupont's lark (Chersophilus duponti), conducting fieldwork, data analysis, and presenting results at scientific conferences. She currently continues this work at CTFC, applying bioacoustic tools to monitor and conserve this endangered species, contributing to methodological design, analysis, and knowledge transfer within the research team.
