Faculty Researcher of the Year - Science

Prof Graham Kerley

The widely-recognised global decline in biodiversity and its benefits for humanity can only be addressed though science-based policy and management says Prof Kerley who researches the resource requirements for large mammals and the impacts of these mammals on ecosystems.  The possible influence that large mammals have on climate change could contribute to the conservation of our unique African biodiversity heritage and climate change globally."
