New Members of OSG
Since the last issue, we have welcomed 2 new members to the OSG: you can read more about him on the Members-Only pages.
Samara Almeida, Brazil: Since 2014, I have been working on the ecology, behavior, biology, and ethnobiology of Giant Otters in the Cerrado-Amazone ecotone in Brazil. I am currently studying behaviour and vocalizations, and intend to investigate indigenous knowledge of Giant Otters.
Miriam Simoni, Iraly : I work in Cilento National Park in southern Italy on regularly surveying a 1.5 km stretch of river, collecting spraint for genetic analysis by Anna Loy and her team. I have also helped to develop a hiking trail along ancient mule trails (Otter Valley Trail Casaletto Spartano); we intend to create a permanent educational exhibition on the otter and life in and around the river.
