In other news, I’ve been invited to speak at a Youth Outreach Conference in Addis Ababa in late April. The conference is tentatively scheduled for April 30 and will focus on conserving the biodiversity of Ethiopia. I’ll be speaking to mostly high school students (something I’m used to given my previous profession of high school biology teacher) about my research and efforts to conserve the geladas and other endemic mammals of the Simien Mountains National Park. I’ll update this blog with more as the conference takes shape and I figure out how to persuade the youth of Ethiopia to get involved with conserving their endemic floral and fauna.
