Carlos Navarro

Carlos Navarro is a biochemist specializing in marine biology, as well as a freelance wildlife photographer and author. Over the past 35 years, he has spent much of his career living and working along both shores of the Gulf of California, participating in scientific research, conservation initiatives and environmental education projects focused on a wide range of marine and terrestrial species.

His work has involved highly endangered species such as the vaquita porpoise, as well as marine invertebrates, seabirds, sharks, baleen whales, jaguars and crocodiles. Carlos brings this breadth of field experience to his role as a Naturalist, Undersea Specialist and Certified Photo Instructor, guiding in regions that include Baja California, the high Arctic, the Amazon and Antarctica.

As a wildlife photographer and writer, Carlos has contributed to both scientific and popular publications. His photography has been featured in outlets such as National Geographic magazine, BBC Wildlife and other international publications. He is the author of several works, including Oleada de Vida, a photographic essay on the Gulf of California, and El Oso Negro en el Noreste de México, exploring the natural history of black bears in northeastern Mexico. His most recent book, El Jaguar: Majestuoso Señor de las Selvas, examines the ecology, cultural significance and conservation challenges facing jaguars.
