Lyanne Pierina Ampuero Merino holds a degree in Biology from the National University of San Agustín from Arequipa, Peru. Since 2013, she began working with seabirds when she joined the Punta San Juan Program as a volunteer. Her undergraduate thesis research focused on the behavior and reproductive success of Inca terns (Larosterna inca) in artificial and natural nests at Punta San Juan. She has led pilot studies related to the eradication of invasive rodents to benefit seabird populations in Punta San Juan and the Lobos de Afuera Islands in Peru. He also worked for the project "Monitoring of seabirds to help the functionality of MPAs in Peru" with the objective of determining the foraging distribution of Peruvian boobies, Humboldt penguins, Inca terns and Guanay cormorants in Punta San Juan. Lyanne is interested in the restoration of the fauna of the National Reserve System of Islands, Islets and Guano Capes, through the improvement of the reproductive success of endemic and threatened marine birds of Peru through efficient rodent control.
