Knut Eisermann

Knut’s knowledge of the birds, the people, and the country is based on more than 20 years of ornithological field research, travelling, and nature conservation work. He has lived in Guatemala since 1997 and has been organising and leading specialised birding tours here since 2003. When not leading tours, he is in the field learning about the behaviour of the endemic birds, finding new and exciting birding hotspots, training local guides, supporting the development of birding lodges and areas and conservation initiatives. Knut has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed papers and book chapters about the ornithology of Central America, and has co-coordinated the designation of International Bird Areas (IBAs) in Guatemala. We are delighted to welcome Knut to the team in 2024!
