He is dedicated to training the next generation of environmental leaders and provides consultancy on sustainable practices through his private firm.

Leopoldo's passion lies in promoting eco-friendly initiatives that he believes can lead to lasting global change. He has seen firsthand how sustainable approaches can enhance long-term ecological health and community well-being.

On a sunny day in April 2023, Leopoldo stood before a group of eager students at the university’s lush botanical gardens, ready to share his insights on creating a more sustainable future. The city of Buenos Aires provided a vibrant backdrop for discussing the practical applications of sustainable development within bustling urban environments. That day marked the beginning of a new project aimed at transforming local neighborhoods into models of sustainability, integrating green spaces, renewable resources, and community engagement.
