Reflecting on the Oppenheimer Conference 2023

The 12th Oppenheimer Research Conference, held in Midrand from 4-6 October, brought together approximately 420 scientists, conservationists, and environmental stakeholders to discuss environmental and biodiversity research on issues facing South Africa and beyond.

The Mammal Research Institute was well represented at the conference, with MRI director Prof. Andre Ganswindt (holder of the Oppenheimer Chair for Emerging African Scientists in Non-invasive Wildlife Research), and Postdoctoral Fellow Dr Andrea Webster delivering compelling results presentations. Poster presentations were also given by Dr Grant Hall, Bruce Crossey, Pia Riddell, and Loraine Shuttleworth.
