About Carlos de la Rosa

Carlos de la Rosa is a scientist who uses photography to document his research in the field of natural resources conservation. Looking through a lens became a new way of seeing when he discovered a world of tiny creatures under a loupe at the age of 7. This early intellectual curiosity eventually led to a career observing the natural world, in particular aquatic insects. Carlos came to the United States from his native Caracas, Venezuela to complete a Ph.D. in ecology at the University of Pittsburgh and went on to discover, explore, and learn about ecosystems in Central America, the Amazon, the Galapagos Islands and other remote wilderness areas in the United States and Europe. As the Conservation and Education Chief Officer with the Catalina Island Conservancy, Carlos oversees projects and programs that delve into natural history, science, and the human context in which conservation takes place.
