Helen Wanjiru Gichohi is a Kenyan ecologist who was elected President of the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) in January 2007. ==Education== Helen Gichohi was born into an agricultural community in central Kenya, where animals were seen as something to be exploited rather than protected. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in zoology from Kenyatta University and a Master of Science degree in Biology of Conservation from University of Nairobi. She went on to the University of Leicester, where she gained a PhD degree in Ecology.〔 While working for her PhD, Helen studied the effect of controlled burning on wildlife grazing areas in the Nairobi National Park. Her conclusion was that, properly managed, fire could be helpful in maintaining an open savannah that provides food for wildlife. She has said that she drifted into ecology, partly because she much preferred to work outdoors than inside in a laboratory.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helen Gichohi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
