Summary::
This roundtable intends to discuss in general, how researchers in the field of Ecotoxicology include the goals for the SDGs within their projects, and what gaps we still need to fill in order to improve aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems (in compliance with SDGs 14 15) and air quality (SDG 3) for future generations.

He is currently Associate Professor II of Environmental Management at the University of São Paulo (since 2005) and Full Advisor of the Graduate Programs in Ecology (since 2006) and Sustainability (since 2018) at the University of São Paulo. His line of research focuses on theoretical and applied ecology in aquatic systems, at all levels of biological organization (sub-individual attributes, individual, population, community and ecosystem), and combining analysis and reanalysis of published data, field sampling, and laboratory experiments, mesocosms, experimental plots and field. Within this framework, he has been investigating the ecology of modified environments, trying to understand how the transformation of forests and savannahs into pastures, plantations, mines and cities promotes the alteration of ecosystems and the reorganization of biodiversity. Vectors of environmental degradation investigated with special attention include contamination by pesticides, fertilizers and drugs; changes in habitat structure; and microclimate changes. He is a member of the Editorial Board of ´Freshwater Biology´ and ´Peer Community in Ecology´, and a referee of several high profile international journals, as well as national and international research funding agencies.

MR3: 18/08 – 11:00am to 12:30pm - “Protected Areas Under Threat of Pollution
Summary:
In this roundtable, a problem that has not yet been discussed, which is the vulnerability of Conservation Units (UCs) to the effects of environmental pollution, will be addressed. Researchers will present research results conducted within UCs that show the effects of pollutants on biodiversity, and the ICMBio will show what are the main sources of pollution reported in UCs, and how the topic is included in the management plans for protected areas in Brazil.

Dr. Paulo Sérgio Martins de Carvalho- Biological Sciences Center - Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE)
Graduated in Biological Oceanography by the Federal University of Rio Grande Foundation, Master in Biological Oceanography by the University of São Paulo, and PhD in Ecotoxicology at the University Of Missouri Columbia - USA. Postdoctoral fellow from the National Research Council (USA) at the Columbia Environmental Research Center - USGS (2002-2003), and from the CTPetro Sectorial Fund at U.F.S.Catarina (2004 to 2006). Since 2006 he has been a professor at the Department of Zoology and the Postgraduate Program in Animal Biology at the Federal University of Pernambuco, where he coordinates the Laboratory of Aquatic Ecotoxicology (Labecotox). The research group has focused especially on the development and application of integrative approaches to the effects of contaminants on behavioral, morphological and biochemical biomarkers in fish in early and more advanced stages of development, including sensory systems, swimming skills, growth, predator-prey interactions, and reproduction. The work developed at Labecotox has focused both on laboratory experiments and on approaches focused on field studies, applying the concept of sentinel species to assist in the monitoring and quantification of toxicity based on ecotoxicological biomarkers in aquatic freshwater, estuarine and marine environments.
