Kaitlyn Gaynor, ESPM PhD Student was a Rocca Dissertation Fellow in 2016.
My dissertation research, supported by the CAS Rocca fellowship, examines the interactions between people and wildlife in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. After decades of war, Gorongosa’s human and animal populations are recovering and rediscovering how to coexist in a changing landscape. My goal is to use science to inform management solutions for an ongoing restoration project in Gorongosa that promotes conservation and human development in the region.
