Upcoming Summer 2013 Lecture
The Future of Giraffes in Africa
By Dr. Julian Fennessy
Monday, July 15
Despite a fascination for giraffes, they have received little scientific attention. Research on their natural history and conservation status in Africa is limited. However, Dr. Julian Fennessy—director of the Namibia Nature Foundation—does have experience with these animals, including studies of the ecology and behavior of free-ranging giraffe populations and time spent as the chair of the Giraffe Working Group of the Species Survival Commission, a network of scientists from around the world.
