Director - Marcel A. Gahbauer |
Marcel
is responsible for developing MRF, taking the lead in establishing and
maintaining partnerships with conservation agencies and other research
partners, and building strong relationships with sponsors. In
addition, he manages MRF's research program and ensures that
MRF's activities are communicated to both the scientific community and
the general public. Once projects of merit have been identified,
Marcel generates research proposals in collaboration with MRF's Project
Manager and any relevant outside partners and is often involved in
the resulting field work. He also prepares or oversees all scientific publications
produced by the foundation. Marcel graduated from the University of
Toronto with an Honours B.Sc. degree in ecology and subsequently worked

biology program at McGill University.
