Hi classmates!
Personally I do not admire anyone of my field, however, I reconize some fundamental people if we analize diferents aspects in the study of forestal area of chile, as Claudio Donoso.
I don't know much of his life, but I do know that he passed away this year and that he was an academic in many universitys of the country, also he was a very important investigator, forester, ecologist and writter.
Donoso published many books, one of the most important was "Forestal types of the native woods of Chile" colaborating with CONAF. This book made a before and after on chilean way to look woods because it was one of the first books that clasificated the type of them. Also this book is a great referens for the citizen because it teaches how to look after and protect the native woods by makeing a good handling of them.
I will be reading your post to know new important people of our field!
