The Nature Conservancy features Njuguna research
The Nature Conservancy highlighted the research of Edwin Njuguna, Ph.D. student in the University of Maine Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology. Njuguna is using Kenya Bird Map Project data to develop the biological condition gradient for the Upper Tana River — the first use of the method outside the U.S. and the first using birds. “As an environmental studies student I went to the museum (in Nairobi) to learn about birds and I never left. Now it’s birds, birds, birds everywhere I go!” Njuguna said.
