Andrew B. Stein

My interests include the study of large carnivores and their conservation outside of protected areas. These studies are multidisciplinary with aspects of ecology, sociology, statistics, GIS, management planning and community development. I have been studying human-wildlife coexistence in African since 2001 focused primarily on leopards in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, Lions in Kenya and Botswana, African Wild Dogs in Kenya and Botswana. I have also worked on Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon marine distribution and by catch along the East Coast of the United States, grassland and shrubland birds within powerline clearcuts in western Massachusetts and moose in the western Massachusetts.

I started an American registered nonprofit organization called CLAWS Conservancy to focus my research program funded by National Geographic’s Big Cats Initiative, Lion Recovery Fund, Conservation International’s Herding 4 Health. In my personal time, I like to travel, hike, play basketball and dance tango.
