Winner of the 2014 Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa
WildCRU are proud and delighted to congratulate Herizo Andrianandrasana, the winner of the 2014 Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa, announced in London on 25th November. Herizo graduated from WildCRU’s Recanati-Kaplan Centre Postgraduate Diploma in International Wildlife Conservation Practice in 2009 returning to his community-based conservation work in Madagascar, which continues alongside his DPhil studies in the Biodiversity Institute in Zoology, Oxford.
Herizo is pictured at the award ceremony with Dr Amy Dickman, WildCRU’s Kaplan Research Fellow in Felid Conservation, also a finalist for the award for founding the Ruaha Carnivore Project, which works to conserve lions and other large carnivores in Tanzania’s landscape.
A video of the event is available on the Tusk Trust Facebook page.
