Archeologist Niéde Guidon and researcher Adalberto Luís Val have just joined Fundação Bunge's Administrative Board as peers of other great Brazilian names such as Celso Lafer, Carlos Nobre, Maria Bonomi and Adib Jatene.
Niéde Guidon is one of the most respected names in Brazilian archeology. She is a graduate in Natural History with a post-grad and doctorate in Pre-historical Archeology. She has acted in two main areas, the first being the studies of ancient presence in the continent, a subject she dominates as one of the world's best known researchers. She has found what she believes to be 48,700-year old remains, the oldest evidence of human presence in the American continent. The second area is related to the preservation of natural and archaeological heritage in southeast Piauí state, which has resulted in the the creation of the Sierra of Capivara (Capybara) National Park, of which she is a director.
Adalberto Luis Val is a researcher at INPA, the National Institute of Amazon Research. He studies breathing and adaptation of Amazon fish to changes in the environment, both those considered natural and those caused by humans. He has been active in the study of causes and consequences of the regional imbalances relating to educational, scientific and technological development. He is a member of various national and overseas societies and has organized 13 events for some of them, 9 of which overseas. He has guided over 60 students in Scientific Initiation and over 50 professionals in their master, doctorate and post-doctorate degrees. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, a Consultant for the Brazilian Society of Progress in Sciences and Vice-president of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Northern Region.
