About Giuliana Furci
Giuliana Furci is the first female mycologist of non-lichenized fungi in Chile, starting her career in 1999 as a self-taught amateur. Under her leadership, Chile became the first country in the world to include the Fungi Kingdom in its environmental legislation, thus allowing Chilean funga to be included in the study and evaluation of environmental impacts throughout the country, through its incorporation into the Law of General Bases of the Environment, also mandating its incorporation into the national inventory of species. Giuliana is the curator of the FFCL Fungarium, which is continuously studied in collaboration with experts from Harvard University, Conicet Argentina, University of Florida, and other institutions. Among her appointments, she is a Harvard University Associate, co-chair of the IUCN Fungal Conservation Committee, and is a member of several mycological societies and associations. Giuliana is also a Board Member of Fundación Acción Fauna, Refugio Animal Cascada de las Ánimas.
