OBSTACLE: CONFLICT
Study how people and predators collide in working landscapes, then identify interventions that reduce risk without flattening ecological complexity.
STAGE 01 · CARNIVORES IN THE ANTHROPOCENE
FIELD EXPEDITION:
COEXISTENCE QUEST
Research on carnivore ecology, human–wildlife coexistence, and conservation impact across Southern Africa, with a focus on field evidence that leads to practical conservation outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: PERSISTENCE
Track what allows carnivores to endure in human-dominated systems, from habitat structure and prey dynamics to tolerance, governance, and adaptation.
REWARD: IMPACT
Turn field evidence into practical outputs: clearer policy arguments, sharper conservation strategy, and public-facing science that people can actually use.
