Biography
Dr. Christie Sampson is a wildlife ecologist at the University of Calgary and a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute. Her work focuses on a few different areas: aquatic ecology (how to save the world's freshwater ecosystems and species), human-wildlife conflict (figuring out how humans can coexist with their wild neighbors) and poaching issues. She is currently working with bull trout and Asian elephants, but also has also consulted on grizzly bear, wolf, tiger, and leopard projects. She is also available to speak about conducting fieldwork in (sometimes difficult) locations around the world; conducting science research in collaboration with foreign governments, Indigenous communities, and international conservation organizations; and science education and outreach.
