In the spirit of collaboration and community science we invite you to have a listen to this episode we are sharing from the “Nature Talks” podcast by Erfan Firouzi. Erfan chats it up with Kelsey Prediger about the most trafficked mammal, the elusive beauty known as the Pangolin.

Growing up on a lake immersed in nature, Kelsey developed a fiery passion for adventure and wildlife with the dream of one day working in conservation. In 2016 she moved to Namibia to work with carnivores but soon after she learned about the plight of the pangolin. She dedicated her research to learning more about this gentle creature and found her calling and with that she founded the Pangolin Conservation & Research Foundation

The Pangolin Conservation & Research Foundation (PCRF) was founded on the belief that without combined outreach, collaboration, scientific research and policy, conservation efforts would continue to fall short.

Kelsey is also the Secretariat of the Namibian Pangolin Working Group.  Additionally, she leads the Pangolin Conservation and Research Project, a collaboration between PCRF and the Biodiversity Research Centre- Namibian University of Science and Technology.

Her work to expand field research and develop strong policies is ground breaking.
