*Presented with Abigail Derby Lewis, Conservation Ecologist*

Abigail Derby Lewis began her professional career as a biological anthropologist studying primate behavior and comparative ecology. This path allowed her to live and work in some of the most biodiverse and threatened regions in the world, and fostered a profound and personal interest to become involved in applied research initiatives that contribute to sustainable management and environmental policy in a meaningful way. The transition to working on climate change impacts to biodiversity in the Chicago Wilderness region was a natural progression that grew from her graduate work on human-wildlife interactions. A main goal of her current work is to help build and renew positive relationships between people and the environment as sustainable partnerships that communities are empowered to create and continue.
