"The Lewis and Clark Grant for Exploration and Field Research provided funding at an early yet critical phase of my research. I was not only able to collect much-needed data but also to lay the foundation for future field research for my project."  Hadas Kushnir's Lewis & Clark Grant enabled her to travel to Tanzania for field work on a project titled Human-lion conflict in southeastern Tanzania: An analysis of causes to develop solutions. "Preventing and mitigating lion attacks will not only save human lives, but will also save lions," writes Hadas, a doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota.  Above, Hadas stands at the location of a lion attack taking a GPS point and recording context information with help from the village chairman.
