Over the past 25 years, Alayne has focused her activities on promoting co-existence between large carnivores and people, and has spent more time in the field with wild lions than almost any conservationist alive today. Her vast experience working with diverse teams throughout East and Southern Africa, along with her commitment to research and natural aptitude and resourcefulness in the field, has positioned her as a unique leader and conservation strategist.
