We were joined by Dr King, who is a Zoologist and Head of Human-Elephant Co-Existence Program at Save the Elephants, a research charity based in Nairobi, Kenya.
She was a worthy Alumnae Award Winner in 2023. Lucy's nominee said: “Dr Lucy King has blazed a trail in developing and promoting nature-based solutions to human-wildlife conflict in Africa and around the world, for which I think she thoroughly deserves recognition through these awards. Lucy has won many high-profile awards including the St Andrews Prize for the Environment, the UNEP/CMS Thesis Award, and the Future for Nature Award. She now manages the multi-donor Elephant Crisis Fund which supports similar projects around the world, in addition to continuing her own research through the vibrant research centre she established at Sagalla, near Tsavo National Park in Kenya.”
After her talk Dr King joined some pupils and the biology teachers for a tour of the science school.
