Research opportunities with the Jane Goodall Institute
November 22, 2012 - 4pm - 569 Spadina Crescent, KP 113 Koffler House, Toronto
A presentation co-sponsored by The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada and the School of the Environment
Featuring: Emma Cancelliere, University of Toronto; JGI student researcher 2012
Research Topic: Attitudes towards primates & conservation in western Uganda
| The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) is proud to present the work of one of their first field interns sent to Uganda to research aspects of their most successful conservation project to date. JGI will also discuss upcoming research opportunities for students, available for summer 2013. The Sustainable Livelihoods project, funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has been running since 2009 and works with communities living around forests in Western Uganda to improve resource management and create sustainable income opportunities. Through a series of qualitative interviews in forest- and riverine corridor- adjacent households in communities participating in this project, Emma has examined whether environmental and conservation education has impacted people's attitudes towards nearby primates, and their corresponding willingness to participate in conservation and restoration activities. Emma will discuss her internship experience, and outline results of her study, along with future directions for research and planning in this region. |
