Camille is a strategic conservation leader and founded the Association Anoulak (www.conservationlaos.com) in 2013, dedicated to biodiversity conservation in the Annamite Mountains of Laos, mainly in Nakai-Nam Theun National Park (NNT NP). As director, she has developed and managed programs in biodiversity research, anti-poaching, conservation education, and community livelihoods, building a team of eleven Lao nationals. Her research has focused on endangered species of the Annamites, contributing to over 10 peer-reviewed papers. She established anti-poaching patrols in NNT NP, employing 36 local villagers, and launched a handicraft program that empowers communities with income and skills in resource management. Camille also co-published books to raise awareness about the conservation importance of the region. Her current goal is to build capacity among Lao youth and support grassroots organizations in Southeast Asia.

I am passionate about primates, felids and large mammals, conservation education and outreach.

Hi! - I’m Kathleen Reinhardt. I am an ecophysiologist, primatologist and scientific illustrator.  My research themes around understanding the behavioural and physiological adaptations of wild animals in response to changing environments, and how we can apply this to conservation management. I’m particularly interested in how animal that use hibernation and torpor adapt to environmental changes, and human-altered landscapes. As an independent Scientific Illustrator, I work with scientists and conservation projects to illustrate their work, with the aim of effective science communication and outreach. These services range from creating digital figures for scientific publications, to species identification drawings and children’s books.

I am a trained biologist and primatologist passionate about wildlife conservation, specifically conservation medicine (one health); the intersect between wildlife, ecosystem and human health. My interests span primatology, marine science, veterinary medicine, public health, human-wildlife interactions, community-based conservation, sustainable development, deforestation and ecotourism. I received my BA in Biology and Environmental Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I worked with the Schusterman Group: Pinniped Cognition and Sensory Systems Laboratory 
at the Long Marine Laboratory, assisting set regulation standards on marine mammal noise pollution for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. I completed my MSc in Primate Conservation at Oxford Brookes University in 2011. Working closely with the Uganda Wildlife Authority and Conservation Through Public Health my independent research project focused on disease transmission risks between humans and mountain gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. Following my MSc I directed the Rwanda based nonprofit Art of Conservation, using the arts and creative learning to teach children and their families about living healthy, and helped launch the local offshoot nonprofit Conservation Heritage-Turambe. I work with many nonprofits and professionals across the globe using conferences, events, publications, photography, film and digital media/marketing to share my experiences and knowledge. Between my formal education I have worked as a veterinary technician for over seven years and lived in six continents. I am passionate about our world, exploring new places and cultures, meeting unique and extraordinary people, learning, photography, film and would like to improve the health and livelihood of our planet through work as a conservationist, scientist and filmmaker. I am currently working on a feature length wildlife multimedia project, The Great Call, and an educational one health short on my Master’s work regarding safe mountain gorilla trekking protocols. My team is looking for executive producers and grantors for both projects. If interested please email me at allison@onehealthproductions.com.
