Davis Fellowship to conduct summer research with Biology Lecturer\u00a0Sonya Kahlenberg\u00a0on illegal poaching in\u00a0Kibale National Park, Uganda &#8211; a key habitat for the conservation of endangered chimpanzees. They used long-term data from anti-poaching patrols conducted in the park since 1997 and\u00a0GIS to identify the areas that present the highest risk to resident chimpanzees and are most in need of
