Dr. Jake Goheen, Associate Professor in UW Departments of Zoology & Physiology and Botany,  presented Living with Elephants and Lions: Humans and Wildlife on the Kenyan Landscape. This program was held at Sheridan College's Spear-O-Wigwam Mountain Campus. 
In sub-Saharan Africa, UW-led research has provided new insights into the habits of large animals, such as elephants and lions, which in turn has led to new conservation practices. Implementing these practices requires targeted management in collaboration with local communities, but it is sometimes the addition of sheer blind luck that enables humans and wildlife to coexist more peacefully on the Kenyan landscape.
