Born in Mexico City, Diego has developed projects in various sectors, but nature led him to his true purpose. For over 15 years, he has directed Agro-Arterra, a company dedicated to producing ornamental trees and plants, and designing, implementing, and maintaining gardens and outdoor spaces. His vision as a landscape designer has always been tied to sustainability, biodiversity, and the emotional connection between people and the natural environment. He is the co-founder of Refugio Salvaje, a conservation center focused on the rehabilitation, reproduction, and environmental education of Mexican birds of prey, especially the golden eagle—a species that represents more than a national symbol: it embodies the urgency to preserve what remains. Nature photography entered his life as a way to explore and share this connection. Over more than a decade, he has traveled through jungles, mountains, oceans, and deserts, seeking to capture the essence of species and landscapes that remind us of the sacredness of the natural world.
