Evelyn Segura
Biologist, Spain
My love for science in general and biology in particular has grown over the years to become my passion. The truth is that I was a very eclectic child. I loved to write, paint and interpret, and I was very curious about everything around me. I found it very difficult to decide what to study when the time came. I chose biology because I felt it was the right place for me. The science of life.
My relationship with the microphone began even before I graduated in biology. For seven years I was part of the coordination team for a marine biology conference at the university and gave my first talks on marine conservation.
I worked for several years as an environmental educator in various organisationsbefore embarking on one of my life's projects. I decided to travel around our beautiful planet for more than a year. I went around the world, but actually the world went around my life.
Biologist by vocation and science communicator by nature. A marine lover, but an all-rounder in practice. Conservationist through the beauty of written, told and illustrated stories.
In the years that followed, I coordinated citizen science and environmental volunteering projects, consulted on various conservation and communication projects, and created my YouTube channel "Los mares de Evelyn".
In 2015, by chance, I entered the world of television as a presenter of the popular science programme "¡Qué animal!" on La 2 of Televisión Española. We are currently filming the seventh series.
Since 2018, I have been part of the team of Aruser@s, the morning magazine TV programme on LaSexta, where I share my knowledge and passion for natural wonders.
The stars of my weekly reports for España Directo on TVE's La1 are wildlife from all over the country, and the professionals who work to defend the conservation of such a precious natural heritage.
I am passionate about telling nature's hidden stories, whether on television, radio, at conferences or in my book "Adapt or Die, Nature's Secrets to Survival in the Animal World".
For me, what I say is just as important as how I say it. What is said and how it is said go hand in hand. Protect nature with conscious love.
