Paula L. Enriquez received her Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the National University of Mexico (UNAM), her Master's Degree in Wildlife Management from the National University of Costa Rica (UNA), and her Doctorate Degree in Animal Science from the University of British Columbia in Canada. Her main focus has been on the ecology and conservation of terrestrial birds, especially nocturnal raptors. She has collaborated with other scientists on several projects in Southern Mexico, Veracruz, Quintana Roo and Chiapas concerning both aquatic and terrestrial birds, and has published several scientific papers and outreach papers. She has presented papers on her research in both international and national congresses, guided and supervised undergraduate and graduate students in studies of bird ecology and habitat selection, studies of hummingbirds' distribution in different habitats, diurnal raptors ecology, and biology of endangered bird species in the highlands, and studies of owl communities in tropical natural reserves. She has several projects about the study of endangered eagles as well as other endangered avian mountain species. Her projects have been funded by USFWS, Idea Wild, CONABIO, CONANP, and others. Since 1996 she has been a researcher and professor in the Department of Biodiversity Conservation in El Colegio de la Frontera Sur. She has been a recognized as a national researcher since 2010 and recently has become the Chief Editor for a Mexican Ornithologist Journal.
