Education

A native of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, Lugo earned bachelor's and master's degrees in biology, both from the University of Puerto Rico. He later earned a Ph.D. in ecology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[2][3][4][5]

Scientific and professional experience

In 1974, Lugo joined the Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources as Assistant Secretary for Planning and Resource Analysis after completing post-doctoral research studies on wet forests in El Verde, Puerto Rico and mangroves in Florida. He has worked on a wide range of tropical and sub-tropical ecosystems: hardwood forests, mangroves, floodplain wetlands, sand pine forests, prairie lakes and palm wetlands. His current research focuses on the role of tropical forests in global processes, and on comparisons between tropical tree plantations and natural forests.[2][4][5]

Before joining the Department of Natural Resources, Lugo served in a variety of leadership positions. He was the Acting Deputy Chief of International Forestry. He also served as the Acting Director of IITF and as Assistant Secretary for Science and Technology in the Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources. One of his first positions of leadership was as Assistant Secretary for Planning and Resource Analysis (1973-1974).[2][3][5]

Environmental issues

Lugo has over 300 publications in scientific journals and books, has served on federal interagency committees, and is frequently required to appear as an expert witness in federal court cases involving environmental issues.[1][3]

He currently serves on the editorial boards of Conservation Ecology, Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, Forest Ecology and Management, Restoration Ecology, Journal of Sustainable Forestry, Acta Cientifica (as Editor), and Journal of the Litoral.[1][2][3]
