Species Research - Terrestrial

From studying the predatory behavior of African lions to documenting habitat needs of lowland gorillas, science-based species research equips wildlife conservationists, citizens, policy-makers and other stakeholders with an expanded knowledge of animals and their environment. Research findings can be applied to help resolve human-animal conflict and lead to sustainable conservation solutions – a critical goal of the Fund.
