Warriors, Wildlife, and Women | Amy Dickman | TEDxYouth@RadleyCollege

Organised by Hyunjo Kim, TEDxYouth@RadleyCollege held a variety of talks under the theme, 'Event Horizon'. https://www.ted.com/tedx/events/49618 Professor Amy Dickman is a conservation biologist, with a particular interest in the maintenance of threatened wildlife populations on human-dominated land and how to resolve human-wildlife conflict. Her work focuses mainly upon understanding the drivers of conflict between humans and large carnivores, and how those issues can best be addressed. She first became part of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) in 1997, and worked there for six years before conducting her Masters and PhD, and then returned full-time in 2009. WildCRU’s aim is to undertake original research on aspects of fundamental biology relevant to solving practical problems of wildlife conservation and environmental management. Under her Fellowship, she established the Ruaha Carnivore Project (RCP) in southern Tanzania. She is a member of the IUCN Cat Specialist Group and the African Lion Working Group.
