Research Interests: |
| My interests are in
primate conservation, ecology, and psychology. I spent the
first part of 2003 and 2006 surveying a small forest
fragment in east Africa; the Kasokwa Forest Reserve.
Within this fragment live a community of fifteen
chimpanzees, and many species of monkeys. Surrounding
the fragment is a large sugarcane factory that has separated Kasokwa from the main forest block; the Budongo Forest.
The forest continues to be degraded due to agricultural
expansion, and human resource use. I am interested in
studying conflicts that arise from human encroachment, and
the dangers of living in close proximity to apes. |
