Achievement

In 2013 David Toledo became a Postdoctoral Research Rangeland Management Specialist with the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service. As an NSF-IGERT ABS trainee, David’s work evaluated the social dimensions of using extreme fire as a rangeland restoration tool in Texas and in the Janos Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. His research fills a critical knowledge gap in effectively restoring the resilience of rangeland ecosystems. David also received several awards for his doctoral research including the Judges' Choice Award for the NSF-IGERT Poster and Video Competition and the Texas A&M Distinguished Graduate Student Award for Excellence in Research.
