The students then modified the protocol and applied it to the study of herbivores in Georgia, such as deer, wild hogs and Canada geese. Marie Fidele presented her research to GCSU students in an upper-division plant anatomy course and train them in lab protocol. Fossey Fund researchers give presentations to GCSU students, enabling them to learn more about science in action. Marie Fidele was also recently part of an exciting cross-cultural educational experience we developed with Georgia College and State University (GCSU).
She was also recently named a “Gorilla Game Changer”-watch the video about her work here. Marie Fidele is now a research assistant in our biodiversity program, where she is building our herbarium as a resource for students and scientists working in Volcanoes National Park and monitoring the reforestation work on our new Ellen Campus. Marie Fidele developed a simple and environmentally-friendly field method for identifying diets in herbivores through fecal analysis her research was published in the Wildlife Society Bulletin.
#DIAN FOSSEY GORILLA FUND STORE PROFESSIONAL#
After graduation, she joined us as a professional intern. As an undergraduate studying botany at the University of Rwanda, she worked on her bachelor’s thesis at Karisoke. Marie Fidele first came to the Fossey Fund’s Karisoke Research Center in 2016. In 2021, Carine received a veterinary scholarship from Wildlife Conservation Network, which will help her to continue her studies. She attended her first year online because of COVID-19, but in 2021, the university returned to in-person classes, and Carine is now completing her degree in the Czech Republic. As lab coordinator for the project, Carine was responsible for storage, processing and analysis of fecal samples, data entry and management, and training new interns.Ĭarine was then accepted to a master’s program in Wildlife and Livestock Production, Management and Conservation at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague.
The project team investigated the epidemiology and pathological effects of gastrointestinal parasites in mountain gorillas. In 2018, Carine was selected to join a collaborative project led by the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, Czech Republic Gorilla Doctors and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in collaboration with the protected area authorities of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As lab coordinator for the project, Carine was responsible for storage, processing and analysis of fecal samples, data entry and management, and training new interns. Our research also focuses on understanding many of the unique animals and plants that share the gorillas’ forest home and providing the cutting-edge science needed to develop effective conservation strategies. The project team investigated the epidemiology and pathological effects of gastrointestinal parasites in mountain gorillas. Operating since 1967, we are the world’s longest-running gorilla research project.
