We are graduate students and faculty with interests in natural resource management issues relevant to Africa. We are a diverse group with members with expertise in geography, food and resource economics, botany, agricultural and biological engineering, ecology, forestry, wildlife conservation, anthropology, political science, sustainable development, zoology, tourism, and others.
