Leo Lanna
Leo Lanna is a Brazilian scientist guided by the search for praying mantises in tropical rainforest nights. Through his independent organization, Projeto Mantis, he combines poetry, wildlife photography and innovative research methods to produce contemporary science, studying aspects of evolution, species richness and natural behavior beyond data. He has been leading expeditions in Amazonia and the Atlantic Rainforest since 2015, advocating for the wonders of the mysterious diversity found under the cover of darkness. With a flashlight and a camera, he unveils an astonishing and endangered universe - vibrant, alien, poetic and fragile, eternal and ephemeral.
