Megafauna and Sustainability (MegaSus)

In this unit, we are passionate to learn more about the community ecology and (socio-) ecological impacts of megafauna. Megafauna, to us, are terrestrial warm-blooded hairy creatures, aka large mammals. MegaSus' ultimate vision is to perform fun basic science that contributes towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. We study megafauna from multiple perspectives, including community ecology, trophic interactions, behavioral ecology, and earth system functioning. We focus on African and European systems.
