Agustín Gutiérrez, is a field biologist with seven years of experience working at the Charles Darwin Research Station. His work focuses on the conservation of native landbirds, especially the Little Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus nanus), a critically endangered species threatened by habitat degradation and the invasive parasite Philornis downsi.

He leads field monitoring in highland sites such as Los Gemelos and Mina de Granillo Rojo, where he documents territorial behavior, nesting activity, and habitat conditions throughout the year.
