BOOKS
Ivan Mikolji’s work through his vast and detailed photographic documentation and as an explorer is very important when it comes to talking about scientific disclosure in Venezuela. His made a significant contribution since he makes the biological and scientific knowledge of our planet accessible to all through his pictures, observations and field trips. Ivan Mikolji is a science popularizer who seeks to show the language of nature and its processes in a way that is understandable and enjoyable for the public, far beyond the academic and scientific world.

BIODIVERSITY OF THE BOJONAWI NATURAL RESERVE.
Hello, I am Ivan Mikolji, river explorer and audiovisual artist.
I am extremely proud to be part of the book
BIODIVERSITY OF THE BOJONAWI NATURAL RESERVE.
My contribution to this wonderful book was to photograph the various species of flora and fauna found in the reserve. Show how they live underwater, in savannas and on granite outcrops.
We documented species that have never been photographed or filmed in their natural habitat.
As in all expeditions led by Carlos Lasso, he was accompanied by a highly qualified group of people, all working together for the conservation of the environment.
Fishes of the Venezuelan Llanos
For the past 50 years, the Ichthyology Laboratory of the Institute of Tropical Zoology of the Central University of Venezuela has been studying bioecological and systematic aspects of fish that inhabit permanent and temporary bodies of water (estuaries, pipes, rivers and flooded savannas) of the lower plain of Venezuela, mainly those located in the states of Apure, Anzoátegui, Barinas, Guárico and Portuguesa. This book, written in Spanish, contains the results of these studies.
