Curtice Griffin
Professor Emeritus (Wildlife Ecology)
Interests
My teaching and research interests centered on biodiversity conservation, wetland wildlife ecology and management, and integrated natural resources management. My research is highly applied, guided by the conservation needs of local, state, and federal agencies, NGOs, and international organizations. Over the course of my career, I have worked on five continents—ranging from elephant conservation in Africa and Asia, to sea turtle and whale shark research in the Caribbean. In addition to field-based research, I am deeply committed to advancing conservation policy at multiple scales, contributing to local, state, national, and international efforts to protect wetlands, manage endangered species, and promote biodiversity conservation.
