WildCRU (Zoology Dept., Oxford)

David Macdonald Dawn Burnham Amy Fitzmaurice Andrew Hearn Luca Chiaverini Jan Kamler The camera-trap images on which Unseen Empires is based were gathered during a ten year project directed by Professor David Macdonald, the founding Director of Oxford University’s WildCRU (the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit) – a part of the Department of Zoology. The fieldwork was funded largely by programmatic grants to David, and the WildCRU enjoys a close partnership with Panthera. Any project of this magnitude involves the effort of many people and supporters, and David Macdonald wishes to thank them all. In “Unseen Empire” you meet some of the field team, but back at WildCRU’s base at the Recanati-Kaplan Centre near Oxford, the team includes world-class analysts, notably Dr Sam Cushman and Dr Zaneta Kaszta, a team of interns coordinated by Amy Fitzmaurice, and the whole programme is coordinated by Dr Dawn Burnham. The whole team and its extended family is too numerous to name in person, but all are deeply appreciated. So too, our collaborators are numerous. Amongst them, it is a special pleasure that the lead conservationists with whom we collaborated in the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) offices in Myanmar, Laos and Indonesia were all alumni of the WildCRU. The following lists those organisations that have been foremost in working on, and supporting, the fieldwork on which this project has depended. WCS-Myanmar
