Cecilia Veracini is researcher at the CAPP/ISCSP of the University of Lisbon in Portugal. She graduated in Biological Science at the University of Pisa (Italy) and obtained a MSc in Anthropology from the University of Florence and University of Barcelona studying non-human primate vocal communication. She received a Ph.D. degree in Anthropological Sciences (1997) from the Florence University with a work on the eco-ethology of two species of Brazilian Amazonian primates. She served some years as Assistant Professor at the Florence and Pisa Universities and was invited professor in others Italian Universities. She worked as collaborator at many institutions, including the National Institute of Health (US), Fluminense Federal University, State of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Lion Tamarin Conservation Society also in Brazil), Museum of Natural History "La specola" of Florence (Italy), and the Museum of Natural History of Barcelona (Spain). In 2011 she received a Doctorate degree in History of Science (University of Pisa/Florence/Siena), with a thesis about the knowledge of New World primates in Renaissance Europe.
She has various articles published in national and international peer reviewed journals and as well as in popular journals and various book chapters. She is author of a popular book (Primati, University Press of Florence)" and of three videos on ecology and conservation of Brazilian primates and Amazonian deforestation.
