"For me, Astrid is the most clear example of what it means to be a great team leader. During the years that I was fortunate enough to work under her direction at the Iberian Lynx Breeding Center ‘EL Acebuche’, in Doñana National Park, we lived together innumerable situations of joy, sadness and tension. In all situations, Astrid was always our reference. Her knowledge, her capacity for conflict management and resolution, her inexhaustible positive spirit and her enormous human quality, allowed us to successfully overcome all challenges; at the same time she always encouraged our professional and personal growth."
