Abstract

What does the past have to do with present-day conservation? Asia Murphy, Ph.D.  discusses how European imperialism continues to influence conservation today and what we can do to right the injustices of the past.

Asia Murphy spies on wildlife using cameras. Murphy got her undergraduate degree from NC State, studied Malagasy wildlife for her master's degree at Virginia Tech, and earned her Ph.D. studying predator-prey interactions at Penn State. She is doing a deep dive on coyote adaptability for her postdoctoral research at University of California, Santa Cruz.
