Who we are

Cejuela y Asociados was born in the field, grew with energy projects, and today translates biodiversity into regulatory, financial and corporate evidence.

Cejuela y Asociados was founded in 2002 to provide biodiversity consulting and environmental interpretation to conservation organisations in Patagonia. Its precursor was Zonotrikia, a venture devoted to environmental interpretation and scientific tourism in protected areas. As provincial environmental requirements for mining and energy grew, the firm extended its practice into regulatory compliance, baseline studies and biodiversity monitoring. Over the past decade, much of its work has concentrated on renewable energy projects — wind and solar parks in particular — from early-stage characterisation through continuous operational monitoring. That trajectory now lets us connect three levels that rarely talk to each other well: field data, the regulatory record and the financial decision.

Firm timeline

Twenty years told in four milestones.

  1. 2002

    Founded.

    Biodiversity consulting and environmental interpretation for conservation organisations in Patagonia.

  2. Mid-2000s

    Regulatory compliance.

    Expansion into mining and energy, alongside the growth of provincial environmental requirements.

  3. 2010s

    Renewable energy.

    Focus on baseline studies and wildlife monitoring for wind and solar parks.

  4. Today

    Biodiversity, audit and finance.

    A practice that unites fieldwork, technical traceability and regulatory, financial and corporate frameworks.

The team

Two complementary leadership paths — one requirement: verifiable data.

Biologist (Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, Puerto Madryn, 1995). Her trajectory crosses science, conservation, public administration and applied environmental consulting.

Trained in arid-zone research and palaeontology, with graduate studies at the Department of Forestry, University of Idaho. In conservation, she led the Responsible Tourism Programme of Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina in a joint project with WWF Netherlands.

In public administration she directed the Patagonian Institute of Social Sciences and served as Planning Director at the Conservation Subsecretariat of the Chubut Ministry of Tourism.

As an environmental and social consultant, she specialises in vegetation and bat surveys for energy and mining projects. She coordinates multidisciplinary teams in avifauna, small mammals, herpetofauna and ecological restoration. Over two decades she has built consulting practices for leading energy and mining operators and for the main engineering consultancies in Argentina.

Managing Partner

The hinge between field, standards and capital.

Biologist (UNPSJB). Leads the Biodiversity & Sustainable Finance practice. Combines field experience, corporate environmental management in mining and applied scientific instrumentation. Currently completing his MBA at Universidad de San Andrés.

Read full biography

Biologist (Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, Puerto Madryn, 1992). He leads the Biodiversity & Sustainable Finance practice, where field data is translated into the language of metrics, risks and evidence required by banks, investment funds and corporate disclosure frameworks.

His trajectory combines research, corporate environmental management and entrepreneurship in applied science, focused on arid and marine ecosystems. He led sustainability for a global mining company on international projects and obtained closure permits for mines in Santa Cruz — terrain where biodiversity, environmental liabilities and financial costs intersect directly.

He developed biodiversity consulting practices for advanced mining projects in Santa Cruz, Chubut and Río Negro. He also drove ventures connecting science and the private sector at Península Valdés, and received the first Innovar 2017 prize for developing IoT devices applied to whale conservation.

At Cejuela y Asociados he directs geospatial data analysis and reporting against environmental, financial and corporate standards. He is currently completing his MBA at Universidad de San Andrés, with a thesis on recycling, certification and end-of-life asset valuation in the renewable energy sector.

How we work

Measure once, measure right.

The measurement core is a method, not a service. Distance Sampling with detectability correction, PBR calculation, acoustic monitoring of bats and night birds, airspace-use analysis, geospatial database and time series comparable across campaigns. We measure once with the rigour to serve both layers — project and corporate — without rework.

Accreditations and reach

Accredited across five provinces, aligned with the frameworks banks now require.

Cejuela y Asociados works with accredited consultants in five Argentine provinces and within provincial and national regulatory frameworks, development-bank safeguards and corporate disclosure standards. Individual consultant licences are not listed on the site — they are verifiable on request.
