?Apologies for cross-postings I am sharing the news of Liz Williamson's Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation Award for Excellence in Primate Conservation. At the International Primatological Society Congress in Nairobi last month, Dr Liz Williamson, an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Division of Psychology, University of Stirling received the fifth biennial Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation (MMBF) Award for Excellence in Primate Conservation. Liz completed her PhD at Stirling in 1988, and has been a Research Fellow since 1992. The award was given by Dr. Russ Mittermeier in recognition of Liz's achievements in gorilla conservation. Liz was Director of the Karisoke Research Centre in Rwanda for six years and Vice Chair of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group for 10 years. She remains an active member of the Primate Specialist Group's Section on Great Apes and is series editor of the IUCN Best Practice guidelines for great ape conservation (http://www.primate-sg.org/best_practices).
