Wild Nature Institute Shares Giraffe Research at International Conference in Rwanda

Veila Makundi, Monica Bond, George Lohay, James Madeli, and Derek Lee attend the ICCB conference in Kigali, Rwanda.

We are excited that 5 members of the Wild Nature Institute giraffe research and education team attended the International Congress on Conservation Biology in Kigali, Rwanda at the end of July. We presented 4 talks about our giraffe research to an international audience of conservation biologists and educators:

Veila Makundi presented "Celebrating Africa's Giants: Conservation Outcomes of and Environmental Education Program"

James Madeli presented: "Masai Giraffe Population Change over 40 Years in Arusha National Park"

George Lohay presented: "Masai Giraffe Rifted Apart: Low genetic connectivity across the Gregory Rift escarpments in Tanzania"

Monica Bond presented: "Effects of Local Climate Anomalies on Giraffe Survival"

It is thanks to the support, funding, and partnership of our donors that we were able to conduct and publish this high-quality research and attend this conference to share our results with scientists and educators from Africa and around the world. Many thanks!
