I am a behavioural ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara and my work focuses on the primate frugivore guild in East African rainforests. I study competitive dynamics at different scales to understand how animals coexist on a limited resource base, which is critical to ensure a future for the many primate populations that will be confined to remnant forest fragments.
An initiative led by the Center for Sustainability Transitions (CST) at Stellenbosch University, in partnership with the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and made possible through the JWO research grant.
The development of the BII depends on the input of experts across the continent to adequately represent African biodiversity. The index will be presented in a usable form for decision making. Join our network to get involved or to stay updated as the project progresses.
