​Felipe Camacho

Felipe Camacho is a geoscientist and spatial analyst supporting the Forests and Climate Change team at WCS. With dual MSc degrees in Cartography and Geoinformatics from the Erasmus Mundus Copernicus Master's in Digital Earth program, he brings strong technical expertise in GIS, remote sensing, and web mapping.

At WCS, he supports and co-leads spatial analyses for the HIFOR initiative and contributes GIS products and mapping workflows linked to the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) and the High-Integrity Peatlands (HIP) initiative. His work uses Google Earth Engine and the ArcGIS platform to develop decision-support tools, maps, dashboards, and StoryMaps that help communicate results and support conservation planning for forests and peatlands.

Before joining WCS, Felipe worked with organizations such as Esri and Audubon and contributed to emergency mapping efforts for Médecins Sans Frontières. He has built interactive Google Earth Engine apps to monitor environmental change, as well as web mapping dashboards and 3D visualizations to support conservation decision-making. Felipe is passionate about leveraging geospatial technologies to address climate change and support high-integrity conservation.
